Excerpt from The New Techniques for Supervisors and Foremen The point of all this is not so much that I found a way out of my difficulties through a study of modern psychology, but that I came into the field of psychology after a quarter of a century in the active world of industry looking for something usable, something that I could apply to my own Situation. The field is tremendous. Every college has its laboratory and its specialty. The researchers run into the thousands. The American Psychological Association alone has 1500 members and each of them has published at least one report on the results of his research and some of them fifty or a hundred or more books and articles. Naturally in such a volume of contribution there was much that, while of value as a contribution to science and to the general knowledge of mankind concerning himself, was of little practical use to me and would be of as little use to you. It therefore became my chief interest to ferret out from this vast mass of factual material just those things which should be of assistance to the perplexed but ambitious supervisor in a modern industrial plant. It is this material that I have attempted to work up into readable form in the chapters that follow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
