A lot of us have jobs where we need to give people structure but that is different from controlling.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you have to control people, you have to have an administrative force that does it. So in U.S. industry, even more than elsewhere, there's layer after layer of management - a kind of economic waste, but useful for control and domination. And the same is true in universities.
Control is the wrong word. The practice is very much about sharing, and, in any creative practice, some individuals, whether partners or directors, are much closer to certain projects than I could ever be.
There are things we can control and the things we can't control. I can't control how people react to the work I do.
I'd rather control someone than be controlled.
If you've experienced having control, you don't want to be moved to a subordinate position, if you have your druthers.
It's possible for people to gain control of every facet of your life.
I don't really want to control anyone, to be honest.
But if we can manage it so people don't have things forced on them that they don't want, I think there's every reason to believe things can settle out in a situation that is recognizably better than the one we're stuck in today.
You can never control other people. You can only control yourself. I have definitely learned that.
Corporations always are controlling things, and we have the ability every day to do something about that. Every day.
