William Henry Leffingwell
William Henry Leffingwell (1876-1934) was an American management author, and the founder of National Office Management Association. He was trained as a stenographer and "applied scientific management to the office."[1]
Throughout the 1920s, Leffingwell was a key figure in the Taylor Society.
Along with F.W. Taylor, Lyndall Urwick, and others, Leffingwell was subjected to attack by Harry Braverman in Labor and Monopoly Capital: The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century (1974).[2]
