Mary Parker Follett
Democracy must be conceived as a process, not a goal.

Mary Parker Follett

Mary Parker Follett
The foreman today does not merely deal with trouble, he forestalls trouble. In fact, we don't think much of a foreman who is always dealing with trouble we feel that if he is doing his job properly, there won't be so much trouble.
Mary Parker Follett
... orders come from the work, not work from the orders.
Mary Parker Follett
There is no such thing as vicarious experience.
Mary Parker Follett
Experience may be hard but we claim its gifts because they are real, even though our feet bleed on its stones.
Mary Parker Follett
I am convinced that any feeling of exaltation because we have people under us should be conquered, for I am sure that if we enjoy being over people, there will be something in our manner which will make them dislike being under us.
Mary Parker Follett
That is always our problem, not how to get control of people, but how all together we can get control of a situation.
Mary Parker Follett
