| Summary |
"Manpower" by Lincoln C. Andrews is a leadership and management guide written in the early 20th century. This work discusses the fundamental principles of effective leadership, emphasizing the importance of understanding human psychology and the art of managing people in various fields, especially in industry. The book likely aims to equip leaders with the understanding and tools to inspire loyalty, initiative, and efficiency among their subordinates." "The opening of "Manpower" sets the tone for the book by addressing the vital role of leadership in maximizing human potential and morale. Andrews begins by contrasting the effects of good and poor leadership on workers' attitudes and performances. He reflects on the significance of civil leadership, especially after the experiences of leadership during wartime, suggesting that the qualities required for effective command translate seamlessly into civilian contexts. He introduces the idea that leadership can be learned and improved upon, rather than being an innate quality, and emphasizes the pressing need for understanding the human aspects of leadership to inspire better performance and character in those one leads."
