Bureaucracy causes stagnation. Organizations, like individuals, need to be in flow to operate smoothly.
1 Generally speaking, bureaucracy is a system based on a hierarchy of authority and division of workforce functioning in a routine manner.
2 Bureaucracy is correlated with a mechanistic view of the organization and reductionistic management discipline. It is criticized by the lack of system perspective, with characteristics such as inflexibility, inefficiency, silo, stagnation, unresponsiveness, or lack of creativity, etc
3 Bureaucratic thinking generates negative energy: It is about fear of failure; fear to get out of old habits (a known style of doing things), fear to lose the status quo.
4 Bureaucratic thinking divides “thinking” and “working.” Debureaucratization is a management practice and starts at the mindset level.

6 An organization achieves the state of digital equilibrium through its management layers. Delayering becomes a lens through which it is possible to examine and fix many other issues including bureaucracy.
7 In today's volatile economy, nothing impedes progress more than protective silos which are simply a form of bureaucratic management hierarchy designed to preserve the status quo.
8 Bureaucracy = Process Inefficiency. No Bureaucracy ≠ No Rules. From a management perspective, it’s all about the balance of avoiding any excess in setting the 'rules,' but remain the necessary control.
9 The digital organization is a hyper-connected and interdependent business system, breaking down silos and bureaucracy involves tapping the organization’s ecosystem for the collective perspectives/insights of those who make up and know intimately their parts of the system.
