The 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.
