But, of course, the necessity is to think in large terms, and I must say that all the books I’ve read on management and organizational theory, etc., simply aren’t sweeping enough. They aren’t large and great enough; they are not heroic enough. They are written in terms of one particular factory, one particular place, or a particular group of twenty people; this whole group of writers and researchers have to learn to think in terms of two billion people and of twenty generations instead of the little grocery store kind of operations that they are running now. They must become large gauge, more philosophical, more able to see under the aspect of eternity; they must be able to see man as a species, as a race, as a huge unity of brothers who are only slightly different from each other in ways that don’t really matter very much.

The person who seeks for power is the one who is just exactly likely to be the one who shouldn’t have it, because he neurotically and compulsively needs power. Such people are apt to use power very badly; that is, use it for overcoming, overpowering, hurting people, or to say it in other words, they use it for their own selfish gratifications, conscious and unconscious, neurotic as well as healthy.

Enlightened management is one way of taking religion seriously, profoundly, deeply, and earnestly. Of course, for those who define religion just as going to a particular building on Sunday and hearing a particular kind of formula repeated, this is all irrelevant. But for those who define religion not necessarily in terms of deep concern with the problems of human beings, with the problems of ethics, of the future of man, then this kind of philosophy, translated into the work life, turns out to be very much like the new style of management and of organization.
