Bureaucracy is a concept in sociology and political science referring to the way that the administrative execution and enforcement of legal rules is socially organized.
Bureacracy is a necessary evil isn't it? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes I feel that people live for bureacracy. Some people ARE bureacracy.
If I spend the first four years of my child's life convincing him that he is a twinkie, that's bad. It does no good for him, and no good for me, except for the occasional humor gained from watching him gnaw his arm. The reason it's bad is this: he is not a twinkie. It's not his nature. He shouldn't act like a twinkie because he isn't one. So, how do you tell "what" is good? It would be what comes naturally, right? A tree is a tree because it naturally turns into a tree. We cut it down and turn it into a boat, and the trees don't really take kindness to becoming boats. Trees love to be trees.
My point is imminent. Humans. What do we do naturally. We make friends, we have fun. In middle school, you don't see the children forming Org-Charts and assigning Betsy to do all the paperwork while Benny is the spokesman. Children have fun. They become friends and have a good time.
So, tell me this; Why is it that we force bureacracy on ourselves? Why does it matter? Why is it so important to mention the Extended Service Plan on a TV, that failure to do so induces a write-up? What is the purpose of a write-up? My manager said that the purpose is that there is documentation available should the problem pursue.
Businesses are so full of bureacracy, that they have basically taken away our natural selves and molded us into a profit-driven mechanism with no soul. That's right, I said it. My company has no soul. It is a machine designed and implemented to pull in money as fast as possible and as efficiently as possible.
People don't have fun managing other people. People have fun LEADING people. Management is a joke, nay, a worthless position designed for people to fill who wish they had leadership skills and merely have more desire and less heart than real-life folks. I will never be a manager. I will be a leader. I will lead by example and become a good friend and a strict enforcer. Look at what God is. He is not the General Manager of Earth, nor the CEO of Universe.
Bureacracy is a device to control people and to make it as difficult as possible for someone else to take a TRUE leadership position. Bureacrats are worthless, and don't give me any crap about "I didn't make policy, I just abide by it"... that's total bolshevik. As a man once said, the fault doesn't lie with the man who invented the gun, but rather the man who pulled the trigger.
