Lewis K. Urquhart

Lewis K. Urquhart is credited as the co-author, with Herbert Watson, of The Knack of Managing, a practical guide to management that was published by Factory Management and Maintenance in New York. The book has remained visible through later library and digital editions, which suggests a lasting interest in its straightforward approach to supervision and organization.

From the book itself, Urquhart comes across as a writer focused on fundamentals rather than jargon. The Knack of Managing argues that the core principles of management apply across many kinds of businesses, and it uses plain examples to make those ideas easy to follow.

Reliable biographical details about his life are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him chiefly through this work and its practical place in early management literature.
