Procedural management and management values have been imposed in most institutions and in the European Union. This management (whose sectarian links are obvious) produces widespread submissiveness and blind obedience through its perverse hold on people. And this in spite of the suffering it causes, its vacuity, its essential inadequacy in the areas where it is applied, and its considerable financial and human cost. We give the example of « Green House », which has successfully resisted. We try and identify the conditions that enable its disobedience. Thanks to group and institutional strategies, it was able to resist the evaluation grids which, wherever they are imposed, have prevented clinical work from being carried out. This strategy ensures that résistance does not depend on a single charismatic leader, without whom the institution could not survive. It allows both the employees and the administrative agencies to take part in resisting while at the same time proposing a highly articulate, theorized discourse to the financial backers, supported by strong values, and clear and comprehensible to them.
