An organization is a group of living
human
beings. The formal or official design for living never completely accounts for what the participants do. It is always supplemented by what is called the informal structure, which arises as the individual brings into play his own personality, his special problems and interests. Formal relations co-ordinate roles or specialized activities, not persons.

The art of the creative leader is the art of institution building, the reworking of
human
and technological materials to fashion an organism that embodies new and enduring values.

The relations outlined on an organization chart provide a framework within which fuller and more spontaneous
human
behavior takes place. The formal system may draw upon that behavior for added strength; it will in its turn be subordinated to personal and group egotism.
