Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “The only thing that’s been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.”
    —Joan Baez (b. 1941)

    “Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    “The village had institutionalized all human functions in forms of low intensity.... Participation was high and organization was low. This is the formula for stability.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
