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)
Drucker, P. F. (1986).  Innovation and Entrepreneurship : Practice and Principles.
"But innovation, almost by definition, has to be decentralized, ad hoc, autonomous, specific, and micro-economic....Innovative opportunities do not come with the tempest but with the rustling of the breeze." (p. 255)
Sweeney, J. (2005).  Innovation at the Speed of Laughter: 8 Secrets to World Class Idea Generation.
"Unfortunately some individuals who are full of wonderful and innovative ideas may be viewed as sullen, non-participating appendages, disconnected or, worse yet, lazy. Perhaps the real truth is that they are being asked to create ideas (already an emotional risk) in a way that is not suited for their style or comfort with focus. A drastic example of this sort of misclassification is Albert Einstein, who was labelled by many as lazy and arrogant by traditional academic standards of the time because he preferred a process of discovery and innovation that was isolated and introspective."
Beebe, J. (1992).  Integrity in Depth. Carolyn and Ernest Fay Series in Analytical Psychology.
"The acceptance by the self of its own failures to achieve its ideals is the only way that it can earn the empathy required for a human attitude toward the shadow. When the shadow appears to act out what has been morally repressed, it is as if another self emerges, out of relation to the ideals in which we normally center our identity. That self does things we know are wrong and yet for which we must assume responsibility, creating the anxiety we know as guilt." (p. 65)
Mead, R. (2005).  International management: cross-cultural dimensions.
"Middle management often feels threatened by lower level autonomy." (p. 132)
Toseland, R. W., & Rivas R. F. (2005).  An introduction to group work practice.
"The scapegoat, for example, receives much negative attention and criticism from the group because the member is blamed for a host of defects and problems. According to Schulman (1999), members attack the portion of a scapegoat's behavior that they least like about themselves." (p. 235)
