“An organization belongs on a sick list when promotion becomes more important to its people than accomplishment of their job they are in. It is sick when it is more concerned with avoiding mistakes than with taking risks, with counteracting the weaknesses of its members than with building on their strength. But it is sick also when "good human relations" become more important than performance and achievement.” PeopleHumansImportantJobsMistakeRiskBuildingMembersAchievementWeaknessConcernedPerformancesOrganizationSickRelationListsAccomplishmentAvoidingPromotionHuman RelationsTaking Risks Author:Peter Drucker
“Not only weight loss surgery is unnecessary but also it deprives human being a normal life. People after surgery would never be able to enjoy their food ever for the rest of their life whether it is Christmas or they are on their holidays or their child birthday or any other festival. List of problems and complications after the weight loss surgery operation are endless as one may get additional problems such as Hernia, Internal Bleeding, Swelling of the skin around the wounds, etc. I wonder how many weight loss surgeons advice about weight loss surgery to their own family members.” PeopleHumansMayChildrenProblemAbleEnjoyHuman BeingsLossWonderAdviceMembersNormalSkinsWeightListsWoundsEndlessOperationsEtcHolidayInternalsUnnecessarySurgeryFestivalsWeight LossSurgeonsBleedingFamily MembersNormal LifeComplicationSwellingHernias Author:Subodh Gupta
“Organizational Development: The New Christian Right of the 1980s was dominated by paper organizations that were essentially the mailing lists of a handful of politicized ministers. Such organizations were better at issuing press releases than doing the hard work of political mobilization and advocacy. By contrast, the movement of the 1990s has generated a plethora of grass-roots organizations that allocate meaningful responsibilities to individual members. The goal is to create an army of grassroots activists who know how to stimulate political change.” KnowsHardChristianPoliticalIndividualGoalResponsibilityKnow HowAtheismMovementHard WorkDevelopmentMembersPaperRootsOrganizationArmyPressesPositive AtheismListsMeaningfulReleaseMinistersGrassActivistContrastHandfulAdvocacyOrganizationalGrassrootsChristian RightPolitical ChangeMobilizationMailingPress Release Author:Kenneth D.

“There's a black lawyer in Galveston, Texas, who was the unpaid NAACP general counsel in Texas. He had a great record in housing discrimination, labor discrimination. He decided to take as a client a member of the Ku Klux Klan because the state wanted to get the membership lists of the Klan to find out if they could get something on the Klan. And he said, `I got to take you. I despise you. But we, the NAACP, won that case; NAACP vs. Alabama in the 1950s. Nobody has the right to get your membership lists.' He was fired from the NAACP.
