Frederick Taylor: A Study in Personality and Innovation
Summary
Frederick Winslow Taylor, the ‘father of scientific management’ invented new techniques of factory management with time and motion studies coupled with an ideology of authority in organizations. His advances threw up many obstacles from 'soldiering' by shop-floor workers as well as the prevalent management ideologies of his time. The eminent psychoanalyst Sudhir Kakar explores the inner workings of his mind to show us how he rose above his difficulties to become one of the pioneering management gurus and redefined industry and management in his era and beyond.
