Follett discusses this idea in "The Giving of Orders" in The Classics of Public Administration. She explains that psychology…shows us not only that it is impossible to get people to do things in the most satisfactory way possible by ordering or exhorting them; but also that even reasoning with them, even convincing them intellectually, may not be enough” (Shayfritz & Hyde, p. 58). The position does not confer power or authority. Instead, power comes from experience and position. As an alternative to “power over,” Follett advocates power sharing or “power with,” which is defined as developing power jointly with subordinates and colleagues. This method promotes cooperation and helps boost morale. Follet's theory of power, as well as his approach to conflict management, is very applicable in today's world. As Follet expressed it, conflict is inevitable; Conflict management is an essential skill for managers and leaders at all levels of management. Minimizing conflict helps create a productive, team-oriented environment. Follet's work helps today's managers understand the concepts of power and authority and how they should be applied in the organization.
