“The fundamental reason for the
study of #group psychology is that no one can give us democracy, we must
learn #democracy. To be a democrat is not to decide on a certain form of human #association, it is to learn how to live with other men.”
Mary P. #Follett, 1919

“The most familiar example of integrating as the social process is when two or three people meet to #decide on some course of action, and separate with a purpose, a will, which was not possessed by anyone when he came to the meeting but is the result of the interweaving of all. In this true social process there takes place neither absorption nor #compromise.” Mary P. #Follett, 1924

“This is the most important word, not only for
business relations, but for all human relations:
not to adapt ourselves to a situation — we are
all more necessary to the world than that;
neither to mold a situation to OUR liking — we
are all, or rather each, of too little importance
to the world for that; but to take account of
that reciprocal adjustment, that interactive
behavior between the situation and ourselves
which means a change in both the situation
and ourselves.” — Mary P. #Follett
“A leader can only lead the group from within the group. It is within the group that the leader can come to understand what the group’s goal(s) means to each member of the group. It is within the group that the leader can determine the varying interests of the group members and harmonize any conflicting interests through two‐way communication. Only from within can they reconcile these interests to the group’s goal(s).”
—#Follett in "The New State", 1920
