Book excerpt: This book argues that the authoritarian depiction of Frederick Taylor trivializes his important contribution. Schachters analysis of Taylors work shows that he actually originated many of the human relations insights that the literature attributes to Mayo, Maslow, and McGregor. Introduced are two major arguments. Through an examination of Taylors work, a new way of understanding his actual approach to management is opened. Also discussed are the political and historical reasons that led to the distortion of his work.
