Henry Ward Beecher
19th century American politician

Bureaucracy: Some (How Much?) Necessary Evil


"Any sufficiently advanced bureaucracy is indistinguishable from molasses."

Author Unknown

There is very little flattering in the definition of "bureaucracy" but to be fair, few would argue that some to a lot of what those we call bureaucrats do, is necessary.

And least you think this only applies to government, parish the thought. Business has its bureaucratic side as well.


The trick is to only pay for that bureaucracy which is necessary and essential to the organization.


How do you know what that is?
How much of what you do is bureaucratic?
