Mary Barnett Gilson quotes about
democracy oratory way
To find ways of practicing democracy, not ways of orating about it, is our great problem.
work annoyed wages
... a worker was seldom so much annoyed by what he got as by what he got in relation to his fellow workers.
work organization surveillance
Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.
work important matter
The matter of consulting experienced workers, of keeping all the workers informed of changes in production and wage methods, and how the changes are arrived at, seems to me the most important duty in the whole field of management.
work mean relief
Until we devise means of discovering workers who are temperamentally irked by monotony it will be well to take for granted that the majority of human beings cannot safely be regimented at work without relief in the form of education and recreation and pleasant surroundings.
success higher climbs
The higher one climbs, the lonelier one is.
work envy realization
Probably nothing in the experience of the rank and file of workers causes more bitterness and envy than the realization which comes sooner or later to many of them that they are "stuck" and can go no further.
leadership respect self
... the self respect of individuals ought to make them demand of their leaders conformity with an agreed-upon code of ethics and moral conduct.
