Montessorian approach to business

As I worked at different Montessori schools, one question always was in the back of my mind.  Why don’t the adults within the school treat each other with the same respect that they give to children in the classroom?

After Montessori education, I went on to get my MBA.  During my business studies I started developing ideas about how Montessori philosophy  could be used in business communities.  I imagined a work environment where the boss was more of a guide, encouraging and empowering employees instead of always giving all the answers and maintaining all control and power.  I imagined everyone working together towards goals and each person giving contributions not for praise but to move the whole company forward, a place where people acknowledge their mistakes and learn from those mistakes without fear of punishment.

I want to encourage those who embrace Montessori philosophy to allow it to flow into all areas of your life.  Help guide others to these ideals that promote peace and allow everyone to discover their contribution to the world.  I want to continue to discover how to apply the Montessori Philosophy in ways that really empower others through continued learning and exploration.
