Bassman, E. S. (1992).  Abuse in the Workplace: Management Remedies and Bottom Line Impact.
"Certain conditions are necessary for creativity to flourish, one of which is the time to play with ideas while in an open mode of thinking: relaxed, expansive, less purposeful, more contemplative (Cleese 1991). Organizationally, this translates into administrative slack. Peter Drucker relates a company's ability to innovate to the amount of administrative slack it provides in its daily operations ('Creativity in Danger' 1991)." (p. 149)
Docherty, P., Forslin J., & Shani A. B. (2002).  Creating Sustainable Work Systems.
"Organizational slack offers opportunities for reflection and learning, and also for dialogue. Further change and development demand slack, including the presence of fitness scouts who explore alternative solutions to organizational problems." (p. 71)
Kawasaki, G. (1992).  Selling the Dream: How to promote your product, company, or ideas, and make a difference using everyday evangelism.
"At great companies, management leaves the engineers alone. At good companies, management interferes but engineers ignore them. At lousy companies, management thinks it is the engineers. 'Engineers' is too specific a term here; I mean anyone who creates products, services, and projects." (p. 148)
