Lillian Moller Gilbreth embraced the goals of Scientific Management — increasing consistency and efficiency in the workplace — even while introducing human aspects into the nascent field of industrial management. She also applied Scientific Management in the workplace, in the home, and to help individuals with special needs. She shared panels with the likes of Helen Keller and Eleanor Roosevelt, worked closely with business giants like Thomas Watson (of IBM) and Robert Woods Johnson (of Johnson & Johnson), and served every U.S. President from Herbert Hoover to LBJ.
