Bureaucratic

Advantages

  • As there are formal prcedures and clearly defined roles, there is less confusion in the business.
  • There are counter checks which can prove beneficial by preventing mistakes which could be costly to the business.
  • There is consistency in the business as all employees are following the same rules and procedures, which can increase productivity levels and therefore revenue and profit.

Disadvantages

  • Because there are a lot of repetitive tasks, employees may overtime become bored and leave the business.
  • Decision making processes are longer due to counter checks which will prove to be a disadvantage when quick decisions have to be made.
  • As there are many rules and guidelines in place, there is a lack of creativity among employees which can lead to demotivation and increased turnover which will further cost the business ad they have to replace them and retrain their replacements.

Evaluation

A bureaucratic leadership can be useful where rules and consistency is important, but not in a business where creativity and quick decisions are more valued.
