Notes

  • The Scanlon Plan -
  • 'The Hawthorne Effect' - experiment described in known book, Management and the Worker - on how improved productivity comes from taking workers into a radicalization setting
  • 183 - The fact that radicalization o of human relationships can increase profitability does not mean that corporations appreciate this fact
  • 179 - Education involves the process of relinquishing authority over the young in tune with their growing needs for freedom.
  • declaring a morotorium on routine busy work - a critique of university.
  • 178 - from a developmental point of view, win-lose games corrupt both the winner and loser alike
  • 176 - Robert Blake and Jane Mouton - on role of win-lose dynamics, which are regressive. Interesting comparison to standard competitions.
  • The post-Sputnik emphasis on science and technology may be mass-producing anomic men. Have we become a nation of mechanical tinkerers with a shriveled self-hood, each constructing a tiny piece of the largest military-technical complex the world has known?
  • 174 Intuitive perceiver is superior performer in Myer Briggs. Note - observe the conservative forces do not like psychosocial progress. Heavy thinkers are typically anomic - do not like personal discussion. Man, you can see that so clearly with the Russians.
  • 174 - Sensation-intuition of Myers Briggs. Sensation is scientific observation. Intuition is holistic, involves feelings.
  • 174 - Technically trained staff experts don't respond well to t-groups. Is this how we weed out those not willing to grow? Humanize the technocrats!
  • 142 - it is common for a ship designed by geniuses to be operated by idiots
  • 140 - Morals (stage 6) is not understood by Law and Order.
  • 134 - a system with technological and economic ends is not designed for psychosocial integration
  • 133 - Students of Business administration have been found lower on Independence and civil liberties
  • 130 - structure in an org must support psycho-social dev; rebels will require this. Org norms can and should change as the Enterprise grows
  • 123 - majority of adults are at stages 3-4 of Kohlberg's scale - and they cannot comprehend 2 stages above. Scary.
  • 116 - trust comes from openness and vulnerability, and a good ability to assess trustworthiness of others, setting up a climate of trust. One can afford to trust if he has spare capacity and high survival capacity.
  • 112 - both dissenters and conformers are equally mentally healthy, but conformers can be destabilized more easily?
  • 106 -Those of us who needlessly accept the commands of authority cannot yet claim to be civilized men.o
  • P120- Kohlberg's moral judgment scale. For obedience vs rebelliousness (principles)
  • P148 - definition of creative vs uncreative research engineering departments
  • P192 - Theory Y - on making workers self-mamging and thus growing in responsibility.
  • Asch and Crutchford experiment showed that integrity drops from 80% to 40% as people want to confirm to others' views. See p. 98.
  • Those who rebelled at the Milgram Experiment were more developed psycho-social than the obedient majority. 78% pulled the trigger for horrendous pain, 65% at life-threatening pain. 30% would knowingly torture - actually force the subject's hand to the shock plate! Consistent with the The Best and the Brightest. It would be interesting to see how the same test would fare at a more earthy A&M university, or at a more progressive school. P. 99.
  • Totalitarians are willing to subject themselves to a strong authority to repair them by force? P.93
  • Another source of meaningless and repetitive activity is the work that many people must do
  • Competence is enhancing the development of others
  • Individualism and cooperation are only two of the many false dichotomies over which men deadlock and thereby proclaim their psycho-social infancy.
