Notes power"An organization's worst enemies are seldom external. Rather, the most deadly and damaging threats come from those who are so driven toward power that their political maneuvering can destroy the very group in which they seek authority." (p. 44) recognition, scapegoating"Beware of chieftains who either take or fail to give credit for their subordinates' accomplishments. Such chieftains are quick to find a scapegoat when they make even a minor mistake." (p. 29)
