Organizations live or die in the swarm of daily interchange
in complimenting and criticizing,
passing and retaining information,
smiling and frowning,
asking and answering,
demanding and resisting,
controlling and consenting.What injects meaning into one’s work is derived neither from the individual alone, nor environmental forces, but from participation in the swarm.
