Organizing for Work by Henry Laurence Gantt

This introduction accompanies a reprinted book Organizing for Work written by Henry Laurence Gantt in 1919. The introduction explores how early management styles and principles of leadership are accepted in todays business environment. This research examines the evolution of management thought over the past century. It is interesting and insightful to realize the challenges of early managers and understand those challenges are not that different from today. The parallels of management between 1900 and 2006 are remarkable. Organizing for Work by Henry Laurence Gantt remains valuable even though it is out of publication at this time. It is my contention that republishing this valuable work, with an introduction explaining its relevance to management thought and todays issues, will help strengthen knowledge in the management field.Organizing for Work by Henry Laurence Gantt, with ISBN 9780977915705 and ISBN 0977915700.
