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.
