What's love got to do with it?

What has love got to do with organisational life? Is it relevant? Roger Harrison, a well respected organisation development consultant, wrote a paper in 1997 called "A time for letting go". In it he said “I have sadly come to think of [people working in organisations] as addicts, struggling with increasing desperation to control their lives and to feed their addictions with growth, money, novelty, success. Like most addicts, they lie, cheat and steal to support their addictions; they live in denial of the consequences of their actions; and they turn ugly when confronted with their addictions.” Have you seen this happen? What's your view?
