You are mistaken. It is true that organization’s incentives are always transmitted to the individuals within it. What is not true is that those are the only incentives which these individuals have.
Incentives work on individuals. If the individuals inside an organisation have no incentive but the group as a whole doesn’t, nothing gets done.
Funny how all the organizations are arranged in such a way that the organization’s incentives are transmitted to the individuals inside them...
