摘要

Frederick Winslow Taylor, considered one of the first management consultants and the father of scientific management, was born on Mar 20, 1856. Through his definitive work on scientific management, The Principles of Scientific Management, leadership would come to know as much about each job as the workers, and, as a result, could tell leaders just how much effort the workers were putting forth. Taylor's approach led to remarkable rises in productivity but it had significant drawbacks: Workers were once again stripped of their dwindling power, and the new emphasis on productivity had a negative effect on quality.
