Social Rules in Organizations...
From a long time business associate and very wise man, Dmitry Goykhman... These social rules of thumb can help us understand any large organization better... Robert Conquest: 1) Everyone is conservative about what he knows best. 2) Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing. 3) The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies. Parkinson: I) Work expands to fill the time available for its completion. II) Officials want to multiply subordinates, not rivals. III) Officials make work for one another.
