Autorenporträt
Mary Parker Follett (1868.1933) was an American theorist and social innovator whose pioneering work reshaped democratic theory and organizational studies. Educated in political science at Radcliffe College, Follett began her career in social work, establishing community centers in Boston that became laboratories for her ideas on group organization and participatory democracy. Her early writings, including ' The New State ' (1918), combined practical experience with philosophical insight to propose new models of civic engagement and societal cooperation. Follett later extended her ideas to the fields of management and leadership, consulting for major corporations and government agencies in the United States and Britain. She championed cooperative leadership over hierarchical control, viewing diversity as a source of innovation and strength. Although her work was overlooked during her lifetime, Folletts concepts of federalism and creative citizenship have gained posthumous recognition for anticipating modern movements in deliberative democracy and civic education. Folletts legacy endures through her influence on political philosophy, organizational behavior, and social activism. Her call for integrating local initiatives with national purpose remains foundational for scholars and practitioners exploring democratic renewal and societal cooperation. Through works like ' The New State ', Mary Parker Follett continues to inspire those who seek to build more inclusive, participatory, and resilient communities.
