" I'll can't imagine a way to ensure that 100% of the time each and every
individual in an organization will have ideas that "fit" into the overall
scheme of things. In fact, out-of-the-box contributors may actually
behave in ways which initially appear contrary to given values, but which
are positively ground-breaking. "

Dear Group:

Group goals do not have to force the individual into a position of
conformity. Cooperative groups can be a place that nurture individual
expression and creativity. Group feedback can encourage greater insight
where individuals decide to modify behaviors in accord with group goals.
Obedient conformity to the group is essentially the abandonment of
individuality, creativity and self-understanding.
