Such threatened organizations and leaders are prone to attack truly creative, imaginative and visionary persons---for they are a threat to the collusive games of mutual self deception which make such organizations and leaders "GO". Such dysfunctional organizations and leaders "GO" on dishonesty which masks as respectability. They are threatened by any suggestion that their masks even exist, and the more so by any suggestion that their integrity could be sh own by their removal of their masks. In light of the above facts of life---people who are creative, imaginative and visionary need also to be prudent in their dealings with addictive organizations and addictive leaders. They need to be wise about collusive games of mutual self deception and to use their wisdom prudently; but not maliciously or in mean ways which would be but echoes of the behavior of those who feel threatened by true openness and honesty. Collusive manipulators alienate themselves from creative, imaginative and visionary people who have the most to offer to them to help them transcend their dysfunctional assumptions and patterns of behavior.
