The Psychology of Management by Lillian Moller Gilbreth

It will put the great power of knowledge into every man's hands. This it must do, as it is founded on coöperation, and this coöperation demands that all shall know and shall be taught. With this knowledge will come ability to understand the rights of others as well as one's own. "To know all is to pardon all." Necessity for coöperation, and trained minds:--These two can but lead to elimination of that most wasteful of all warfare--Industrial Warfare. Such will be the future of Scientific Management,--whether it win universal approval, universal disapproval, or half-hearted advocacy to-day. When the day shall come that the ultimate benefits of Scientific Management are realized and enjoyed, depends on both the managers and the workers of the country; but, in the last analysis, the greatest power towards hastening the day lies in the hands of the workers. To them Scientific Management would desire to appeal as a road up and out from industrial monotony and industrial turmoil. There are many roads that lead to progress. This road leads straightest and surest,--and we can but hope that the workers of all lands, and of our land in particular, will not wait till necessity drives, but will lead the way to that true "Brotherhood" which may some day come to be.
