Identify the Disease
Bureaucracy makes work and creates climate in which the
customer comes third
– well after the management and the company's other employees.
How much of your energy is expended on purely internal
activities? if you spend less than 20% of your energy on external customers,
than bureaucracy has taken hold.
Eliminate Bureaucracy
Eliminate bureaucracy as follows:
-
Move financial reporting from monthly to
quarterly.

Make
senior managers
responsible for their own strategies.

proved to be essential.
-
Push approval levels right down
in line.
-
Broaden and reduce the payment
bands.
-
Scrap the status symbols and
"burn the bibles".
