I recently found an organization of estate planning - has been completely CEO of the Human Resources Department, which was conceived on a long journey through out was a sign - a new operations director setting. Position and remained unanswered questions about the organization's leaders to follow strict "rules" of the place ("No signature, no progress") were not able to see the things.
It reminded me of me when I complete my lab for a week to close the oldest institution of bureaucracy - all because of a light bulb. Our focus was burned in the head. We call buildings and grounds department, and of course a way had to be filled, but we were told that orders can be completed in 3-5 days. He brought me to my research assistants, home to a desk lamp was able to continue their work. B & G was introduced later than the day workers, we were told we had an energy-efficient light bulbs, but the light had already ordered. I realized later that the student has outside the laboratory. "Why do not you" I asked. The new code "when he took the lamp from the desk lamp did not."
Peter Drucker, the father of modern management has warned that a bureaucracy to take hold only about 20 minutes. Microsoft also said: "bureaucracies, the results do not rule." Now do not get me wrong, bureaucracies are many positive aspects. They offer guidelines and standardized procedures to verify the consistency of the goods or services, and when used properly, lead to proper treatment. However, if the mind of a strict code of bureaucracy uncritically, can be applied without considering the wider implications, and set aside the primary objective and goal of the company, you kill the organization.
The bureaucracy, "humanity" kills the organization.In the above example, human resources, there is no direct communication (and not all comments had been stopped that process) has been. In short, bureaucracies are good if they work for us and our organization, but easily possible, purpose and mission of the company's moves. In other cases, people in bureaucratic organizations use their own selfish purposes (for example, to avoid work, those who do not like to "punish") can. It is our duty as leaders and faculty members, to ensure that the bureaucracy is positive on the whole organization.
