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.

Well we'd just seen Gerry. I think he wanted somebody who had that authority and was handsome. The thing is, he's a big hunk isn't he? All I can say, if you look at his chat line, or the Phantom website, it's quite worrying. Because the girls really seem to love him.

[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all

[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.
