This podcast, based on Mary Parker Follett's Dynamic Administration
, explores constructive conflict resolution through integration, which involves finding solutions that satisfy both parties rather than resorting to compromise or dominance. She emphasizes the importance of openly addressing differences and analyzing underlying needs to enable new, shared solutions. Follett also discusses leadership as an organizing force of experience, rather than authority over others, and highlights functional unity and collaboration as key principles in business administration and societal planning. Furthermore, she explores how control can be achieved through mutual adjustment and the integration of diverse perspectives, as opposed to centralized power, and advocates for participation and collective decision-making to create effective and sustainable solutions. Finally, she reflects on the evolution of business management toward a profession grounded in scientific methods, collaboration, and a sense of collective responsibility.
