The difference between a healthy group or organization and an unhealthy one lies in its members' awareness and ability to acknowledge their felt needs to conform.

Peter Senge

I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.

Erykah Badu

When I conform to truth, I do not conform to an abstract principle; I conform to the nature of God.

Kenneth L. Pike

The organization cannot trust the individual; the individual must trust the organization.

Ray Kroc

The minister and the priest teach that the organization is greater. No great philosophy has ever come from an organization, but from an individual whose research has been a personal study of God and ITS ways.

Paul Twitchell

It's important in any organization that if visions have any reality at all, it's because the organization believes that the vision is right and that they share in it. Otherwise, it becomes the good idea of one person, and that even more importantly contributes to the sense that it will not survive the departure of that individual.

Eric Shinseki

Research shows that the climate of an organization influences an individual's contribution far more than the individual himself.

W. Edwards Deming

Any organization or any individual that targets civilians and kills them for political agenda is a terrorist organization.

Feisal Abdul Rauf

Ben Horowitz

The decision to join or not join a service union, political party or other organization should be left up to the individual. No such organization has the right to take money out of the pockets of state workers without their proper consent.

Matt Blunt

Just as the mind emerges from the actions of individual neurons and their cooperation, the success of an organization emerges not only from its individual participants, but also from the interplay between them.

Justin Rosenstein

Pseudo-modernists pursue individual style because they know they cannot make a name without it; but if they had lived in the eighteenth century their sole object would have been to write correctly, to conform to the manner of the period. In practice, their conforming individualism means an imitation, studiously concealed, of the eccentricities of poems which really are individual.

Laura Riding

In a society of ideological believers, nothing is more ridiculous than the individual who doubts and does not conform.

John Ralston Saul

A biography is never a biography of one person, of course, but the individual life of your protagonist will never conform. It will always bang up against history.

Rachel Holmes

Even when I am forced to conform - we all are on many levels - that line is definitive. It says exactly what it means: Be an individual, you know? Be yourself.

Jeremy Enigk

In any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself. Examples in education would be teachers who work and sacrifice to teach children, vs. union representative who work to protect any teacher including the most incompetent. The Iron Law states that in all cases, the second type of person will always gain control of the organization, and will always write the rules under which the organization functions.

Jerry Pournelle
