Seminal work on the psychology of self development applied to social development.

Notes

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.
