Carter, R. W., & Golant S. K. (1999).  Helping Someone with Mental Illness.
"Work fulfills many needs. It creates structure and meaning in our lives, gives us a sense of accomplishment, provides income and security, and also affords us the chance to socialize with friends and colleagues and to feel as if we belong to a community." (p. 102)
Gelb, M. J., & Miller-Caldicott S. (2008).  Innovate Like Edison: The Five-Step System for Breakthrough Business Success.
"The most innovative contemporary workplaces welcome humor and play and the most bureaucratic ones invariably take themselves too seriously. Overseriousness is a warning sign of mediocrity and bureaucratic thinking." (p. 124)
Gratzon, F. (2003).  The Lazy Way to Success. 222.
"Any individual or business that wants great success must take the concept of play seriously. For that matter, play should be the only thing taken seriously. Play in the workplace is not frivolous, as the hard work advocates would have you believe. Quite the contrary, play has enormous practical value...Play allows the mind to flow without restrictions—to explore, to experiment, to question, to take risks, to be adventurous, to create to innovate, and to accomplish—without fear of rejection or disapproval. Thus a business that regards fun as "unprofessional" or "improper" or "trivial" or "out of place" stifles the creative and progressive process. That’s like running a highly competitive race with one foot stuck in a bucket."
Genua, R. L. (1992).  Managing Your Mouth: An Owner's Manual for Your Most Important Business Asset.
"...deception is carried out when a group of individuals conspire to ensure that the sanctity of their mission is protected...Quite frequently in government and industry it is a perfectly normal and accepted practice to carry out deception. The intent of deception is to keep the enemy or adversary in the dark to protect and safeguard vital information. It is common practice that is exercised at the highest levels of federal government and the highest levels in the private sector." (p. 166)
