<p>In my reading of Follett, I would imagine her to be less entranced by the idea of leadership as energy management than by the idea of leadership as power-creation. Needless to say, I am using the term "power" as a creative force that only exists through human interaction, not in the traditional sense of "control" or "force". Energy management, well, that's something every "manager" does. But not every manager induces creative power from within a community; that takes a leader. Or, more…</p>

<p>Thanks Albie,</p>
<p>I heartily recommend the kets de Vries book and the notion that 'leaders are in the business of energy management' is underpinning my thesis, so it was a happy day when I was able to trace this back to MPF!!</p>

<p>Welcome, Heather,</p>

<p>News of the International Leadership Association's award to Mary Parker Follett is so COOL! Wonderful! I am eager to hear more about the ILA and your own activities. And, Ket de Vries article looks like a MUST READ! (Kets de Vries, M. F. R. 2003. <i>Leaders, Fools and Imposters: Essays on the Psychology of Leadership.</i> (Rev ed.).

<p>Pauline Graham and I helped create a Mary Parker Follett award around 1990 which is now given annually by the Association for Conflict Resolution. Her thinking is always so fresh, timeless and applicable to so many situations and fields--conflict resolution is but one. <a href="http://www.acrnet.org/" target="_blank">http://www.acrnet.org/</a></p>

<div id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentMiddle_ContentPlaceHolderSecondary_cbPage"><p>The <strong>Mary Parker <span><span>Follett</span></span> Award</strong> is presented to an individual who has shown a passion and willingness to take risks; in tackling a contemporary problem or opportunity in the field of dispute resolution; has used innovative and experimental techniques; and draws upon the talents and ideas of all persons involved. Mary Parker <span><span>Follett</span></span> (1868-1933) was an early advocate of resolving conflict by encouraging parties to integrate interests into negotiations. During the mid-1920s, <span><span>Follett</span></span> shifted her focus from community group processes to the field of business. Business leaders sought her advice on how to manage their enterprises, and she became a featured speaker at national and international business conferences. Her talks were drawn together and published posthumously in the influential book Dynamic Administration.</p>
