84 THE PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
pace. Thus it will be seen that it is the assump-
tion by the management of new duties and new
kinds of work never done by employers in the past
that makes this great improvement possible, and
that, without this new help from the management,
the workman even with full knowledge of the new
methods and with the best of intentions could not
attain these startling results.
Mr. Gilbreth’s method of bricklaying furnishes a
simple illustration of true and effective cooperation.
Not the type of cooperation in which a mass of
workmen on one side together cooperate with the
management; but that in which several men in the
management (each one in his own particular way)
help each workman individually, on the one hand,
by studying his needs and his shortcomings and
teaching him better and quicker methods, and, on
the other hand, by seeing that all other workmen
with whom he comes in contact help and cooperate
with him by doing their part of the work right and
fast.
The writer has gone thus fully into Mr. Gilbreth’s
method in order that it may be perfectly clear that
this increase in output and that this harmony could
not have been attained under the management of
“initiative and incentive” (that is, by putting the
problem up to the workman and leaving him to
solve it alone) which has been the philosophy of the
past. And that his success has been due to the use
of the four elements which constitute the essence of
scientific management.
