Taylor: Reconciliation of Differences in Organizational and Strategic Leadership, Academy of Strategic Management Journal, 6, pp. 1-14.

This paper was a review of three different types of leadership. The types of leadership that were reviewed and studied included: (1) scientific management theory of Taylor, (2) total quality management perspective of Deming, and (3) systems thinking of Follett. The author did a literary review and reviewed the other issues that were on hand for these three theories. This article was from the author reading up on the different theories and looking at the relationships that they have with each other.

In Deming’s total quality management perspective there were four main themes that were identified. These themes included (1) appreciation of the system, (2) knowledge of variation, (3) understanding of the theory of knowledge and (4) psychology. Through these four themes one would be able to have profound knowledge. When looking at Taylor’s ideas and the scientific management theory the author compares the two and finds many ways that the two theories are alike but that they are simply using two different types of terminology.

The overall difference that was noted was that Taylor’s main concern was the individual’s ability to perform and produce. Lastly in the article the author looks at Follett’s systems of thinking the author looks at the ideas that Follett discusses like that the overall theme to her work is to find power with the individual rather than trying to have power over the individual. Each of these ideas were discussed, compared and contrasted in detail by the authors.
