Anatomy of a Maverick: Greg Guma’s Restless Spirits

The core philosophy is a blend of progressive politics, humanistic psychology, and a critique of traditional, overly "rational" management, emphasizing a more intuitive and creative approach. Guma’s work consistently advocates for social justice, diversity, decentralism and critical thinking, challenging established power structures and conventional wisdom.

Quotes by Greg Guma (?)

“I think I'd make a good candidate," Bernie explained, making it plain that he planned to run no matter what I or anyone else decided to do. This was clearly not a negotiation, just a discussion. For me, the choice was obvious: divide our forces by running myself or stand aside. Actually, it was easy -- I never much wanted the job. Ousting the incumbent had always been my main objective, the only way I could see to open the political process.”
― Greg Guma, The People's Republic: Vermont and the Sanders Revolution
