# Frederick Winslow Taylor

> He turned factory work into a science of stopwatches and efficiency, and managers have been arguing about it ever since. Taylor's 1909 blueprint for optimizing every human motion on the shop floor became the most influential management book of the twentieth century - and gave us the term "Taylorism."

## Bio

Frederick Winslow Taylor was born March 20, 1856, an American mechanical engineer who made his living patenting steelmaking improvements but built his reputation elsewhere. He became one of the first management consultants, applying engineering principles to factory floors and pioneering what would become industrial engineering. In 1909 he distilled his methods into The Principles of Scientific Management, a book that in 2001 Fellows of the Academy of Management voted the most influential management text of the twentieth century. The efficiency techniques inside - scientific management, sometimes called Taylorism - were what he was most proud of. He died March 21, 1915, the day after his fifty-ninth birthday.
