Notes
- 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.
