Mary Parker Follett was a prominent business philosopher of the period, who agreed with Sheldon about the need to emphasize human factors in management, but placing greater stress on the need to develop a science of cooperation.

In effect she was proposing the same collaboration between leaders and subordinates that was usually to be found between leaders of the same rank.
