Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 9/7/15

Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 9/7/15

The entire point of bureacracy is the triumph of means over ends. The results don’t matter, only that the rules are strictly followed. Filling out a form in the wrong color ink sends you to the back of the line. I recall a guy at a fast food joint in California who told me to step to the next window for drink orders, and then the same guy appeared over there. The immigration rules across Europe don’t matter so much when the point is to alleviate suffering, to stop senseless drownings of desperate people, to provide food, shelter, and medical help. Sort out the forms to be completed later, waive the normal rules, and save lives. If saintly bureaucrats want to look down from the heights, then allow sinners to run the world.

And that’s the terror of the high place, and the high man. Is it God he hears or the echo of his own mad shouting?
— Morris West in The Navigator
