Book
Hyatt, C., & Gottlieb L. (1987).  When Smart People Fail.
"There are several basic kinds of organizational environments: corporate, entrepreneurial, intrapreneurial (independent responsibility within a corporate structure), partnership, or complete autonomy (in the case of the artist). Sometimes the real you is in the wrong environment." (p. 109)
Gerstner, L. (2004).  Who Says Elephants Can't Dance?: Leading a Great Enterprise Through Dramatic Change.
"This codification, this rigor mortis that sets in around values and behaviors, is a problem unique to—and often devastating for—successful enterprises." (p, 185)
Fitter, F., & Gulas B. (2002).  Working in the Dark: Keeping Your Job While Dealing With Depression.
"People with depression can feel horribly isolated in the workplace simply because depression is barely spoken about—and when it is, it's usually as a liability or weakness rather than as an illness." (p. x)
Goleman, D. (2000).  Working with Emotional Intelligence.
"There is a politics of empathy: Those with little power are typically expected to sense the feelings of those who hold power, while those in power feel less obligation to be sensitive in return. In other words, the studied lack of empathy is a way power-holders can tacitly assert their authority." (p. 144)
Esty, K. C., Griffin R., & Hirsch M. S. (1995).  Workplace diversity.
"We think minimizing distinctions makes sense. Research informs us that employees who feel 'out' or 'down' rather than 'in or 'up' also have less job satisfaction, less commitment, and less loyalty to their organization. As an individual manager or supervisor, you can minimize the scrambling after titles and perks by the way you behave. You might consider, for example, moving to a less desirable office space or eliminating some perks based solely on status. Managers who have tried this are often amazed at the positive results." (p. 110)
Journal Article
Marrone, J., & Golowka E. (1999).  If work makes people with mental illness sick, what do unemployment, poverty, and social isolation cause?. Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal. 23(2),  Abstract
"In fact, the change from the role of patient or client to a new role as worker in society is fragile at best. The journey to employment requires a more sensitive approach from all involved individuals (the worker, the professionals, family, and friends) to the extent that everyone can successfully leverage the potential and ability of the worker with an appreciation of the limitations that are part of the illness."
Web Article
Greenwald, M. (2005).  Facing the Beasts: Everybody’s a Critic. 2011,
"Everyone I meet has their own baggage of humanity, foibles that I would find it easy to criticize. But if I can reduce the amount of critical aggression I bring to a situation, my relationships become easier."
Godin, S. (2003).  In Praise of the Purple Cow.
"Tom Peters took the first whack with The Pursuit of Wow,1 a visionary book that described why the only products with a future are those created by passionate people." (p. 5)
