Dear Eduardo,<br />
<br />
If you send me your email address, I could send you <i>Follett on Facts</i> and <i>Liquid Leadership</i>, which may actually be on this network someplace. My email is <u>albiedavis@aol.com</u>.<br />

Dear Eduardo,<br />
<br />
If you send me your email address, I could send you <i>Follett on Facts</i> and <i>Liquid Leadership</i>, which may actually be on this network someplace. My email is <u>albiedavis@aol.com</u>.<br />
<br />
Do you have a copy of Joan Tonn's biography? She has four footnotes on Elton Mayo. Borrowing from Tonn, in essence, Follett and her good friend, personal physician and Professor of Ethics at Harvard, Richard Clarke Cabot, collaborated designing what became known as the Follett-Cabot Seminary, an attempt to break down interdisciplinary barriers at Harvard--under the guidance of the Department of Social Ethics. This ocurred during the 1926-1927 school year. All the Harvard notables were there: Dean Roscoe Pound; Arthur Schlesinger, William Hocking, Alfred North Whitehead, Harold Lassell, to name a few. Also present, says Tonn, were 'two other distinguished participants," Lawrence H. Henderson, who had only recently read and been influenced by Vilfredo Pareto, and Elton Mayo, then 46, who was undertaking scientific studies of human relations in industry. Mayo didn't present a paper, but did participate in discussions. In the footnotes for this reference, Tonn cites correspondence between Cabot and Follett in which she makes reference to his use of the "total situation" concept. (p. 430 & p. 574, footnote 62.)<br />
<br />
On page 435 you hit a little pay dirt because Tonn has presented an exchange between Follett and Mayo that's lively and I know you would enjoy it. If you don't have a copy already, time to get hold of Joan's book (<i>Mary P. Follett: Creating Democrary, Transforming Management</i>. Joan C. Tonn, Yale University Press, 2003.)<br />
<br />
If you need this right away for some reason, I could scan the page and send it your way.<br />
<br />
Good luck, Albie Davis (Thomaston, Maine, USA)<br />

Albie, this is great. Dr. W. Edwards Deming used to say, "Get the facts. Nonsense! Do you know that has no meaning at all." Your paper and quotes from Mary give that quote some substance.<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hello John Sarvey,<br />
<br />
I just finished reading your 2007 paper <i>Mary Parker Follett and Edgar Schein:<br />
Two Giants in the Field of Organizational Studies</i>. I made a bunch of notes as I read with fascination your account of Follett's life and contributions, then of Schein's, about whom I knew nothing prior to your paper, although obviously I should have.

I truly enjoyed the way your brought the two together, speculating on the many points of possible contact, and some significant differences. I'd love to send you my "notes on the go" if you'll send me your email. Mine is <u>albiedavis@aol.com</u><br />
<br />
I think I should spare the full group all my notes and comments, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEY DOWNLOAD YOUR PAPER AND READ IT. Very informative and interesting! I am going to attach a one page handout which I copied from a 1936 book by Follett's good friend and personal physician, Richard C. Cabot. I think it highlights the way she was working with Cabot on those Harvard lectures you mention.<br />

Great John, your paper came through. I can't open it now because my partner is using our shared Word software, but will look at it tonight. I sent your query to Matthew Shapiro, who is our volunteer administrator. I wish we could have one place to go to retrieve papers, but am not sure if it is possible.<br />
<br />
More later, Albie<br />

Dear Eduardo Ibarra and other network members,<br />
<br />
As promised, I've scanned <i>An Interview with Mary Parker Follett</i> in English and pasted the 13 pages PFDs into a Word document, so I hope it comes out okay. Let me know.<br />
<br />
Remember, Follett died in 1933 and I interviewed her in 1989, so obviously I took some liberties! For a rich and full look at her life, be sure to buy or take out from your local library Joan C. Tonn's 2003 biography, <i>Mary P. Follett: Creating Democracy, Transforming…</i>
