The Social Psychology of Organizing

Weick, Karl E. The Social Psychology of Organizing. 2nd ed. Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 1979.

Why this matters here

Weick’s The Social Psychology of Organizing emphasizes enactment, loose coupling, and organizing as ongoing sensemaking rather than static structure. When Others Look to You uses that adaptive grammar diagnostically: when reality pushes back against a plan that has already spread, influence can move toward renewal (correction while reach grows) or erosion (insulation as coordination hardens).
