- #10 “ Modern management is the collaboration of people and machines to create value.” Sounds pretty good right? Taylor saw human labor very much analogous to machine work--- something to be "engineered" to achieve efficiency. Pay per line of code!!! Fell out of favor with minimum wage and unions SCRUM Andy Grove

- #16 - During the 40’s GE had an idea for selling more light bulbs Experimented on women – the results were shocking Revolutionized thinking about human beings. The workplace was a “social system” and managers had to become much more than bean counters
- #17 Follett saw business as a cooperative undertaking in which both owners and laborers have an interest. Follett was big on worker empowerment and responsibility. Integration in power relationships between worker and manager meant that employees would obey, not because they were told to do so, but because the situational facts required a particular action. People would be responsible to their work, not to someone.
