Henry Gantt stands out in history for his development of the Gantt Chart and his influence on modern day management. Gantt led an active life as an industrial engineer and consultant and in 1917 invented the Gantt chart, a horizontal bar chart that was an innovative way to manage overlapping tasks. Henry Gantt also played a significant role in management history as one of the early few who recognized the importance of motivation, a psychological phenomenon, in the work place. He focused on reward systems, where he would reinforce good work instead of penalizing poor work. A pioneer for this management approach, Gantt initiated a new way of relating to workers and emphasized good leadership on the part of management.

Gantt Consulting continues to develop the concepts of scientific management founded by Henry Gantt.
