Even though she wrote about management and organization environment and processes a century ago, the concepts and themes she envisioned then such as power and authority, conflict resolution, democratic principles in the organization, and governance now resonate in contemporary fundamentals. Her prolific efforts to define the ideal humane and democratic organization and effective governance make this modernist and valiant social worker, advocate, management scholar, and consultant rightly be described as the "prophet of management."
