Mary Parker Follett Award
The Mary Parker Follett Award is presented to
an individual who has shown a passion and
willingness to take risks; in tackling a
contemporary problem or opportunity in the field of
dispute resolution; has used innovative and
experimental techniques; and draws upon the talents
and ideas of all persons involved. Mary Parker
Follett (1868-1933) was an early advocate of
resolving conflict by encouraging parties to
integrate interests into negotiations. During the
mid-1920s, Follett shifted her focus from community
group processes to the field of business. Business
leaders sought her advice on how to manage their
enterprises, and she became a featured speaker at
national and international business conferences. Her
talks were drawn together and published posthumously
in the influential book Dynamic Administration.
