In Defense of Taylorism

Jul 2, 2023

Every great man has a great enemy, every great movement a great antagonist.  For "agile" that antagonist is typically attributed to Frederick Winslow Taylor, and his book Scientific Management...but SHOULD he be? This week we host a discussion between two people who actually took the time to READ the book, to try and answer the question: "Is the problem Taylorism...or how we're taught to INTERPRET it?"  Enjoy!
