Teamwork in Industry

Abstract

THIS book in essence is an essay on the theme of leadership, in the sense of which Arthur Bryant wrote in "Years of Victory", of evoking the will to serve father than a mere matter of transmitting "Unless we can discover and implement," writes Mr. Burns Morton, "means to ensure that men work willingly and harmoniously together, our industrial efficiency will diminish, and with it our trade in the home and foreign markets." The book is frankly a contribution to the thinking and organisation which are indispensable factors in removing the present threat to our industrial future. The approach is pragmatic but fundamental, and Mr, Morton will clearly judge the worth of his work by the extent to which it contributes to the solution of what is now generally admitted to be the key problem in productivity—the establishment of right humar relations in industry.
