Quote by Karl Weick, Social Psychology of

Managers construct, rearrange, single out, and demolish many 'objective' features of their surroundings. When people act they unrandomize variables, insert vestiges of orderliness, and literally create their own constraints.

Managers construct, rearrange, single out, and demolish many

Summary

This quote suggests that managers have the power to manipulate objective aspects of their environment. They can modify, reorganize, prioritize, or eliminate elements according to their own judgment. Similarly, when individuals take action, they bring a sense of structure to their endeavors. They introduce order by considering various factors and imposing limitations on themselves. This emphasis on the creative role of managers and individuals highlights their ability to shape their surroundings and exert control over the outcomes of their actions.

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.
