Weberian Bureaucracy- Micromanaging- Task-Oriented

Presented by: Brittany Holsinger


Max Weber believed the most efficient way to run an organization was as a
bureaucracy. A Weberian Bureaucracy is an organization where human activity
is organized and a systematic process is in place. Hierarchies are
necessary to maintain order. A bureaucratic organization is very
impersonal, lacking all humanistic qualities.

Micromanaging- is a management style in which a manager closely observes
and controls their subordinates. Managers micromanage to make sure tasks
are completed in a precise manner. Like a Weberian Bureaucracy,
micromanaging also has a negative connotation because of its sole focus on
task and goals, and disregard of humanistic qualities.

Task-oriented- is a managerial approach that focuses on tasks that need to
be completed in order to achieve specific goals. Like a bureaucracy and
micromanaging the sole focus is on completion of task to meet an end goal.
Again, task-oriented mangers lack a personable approach.

Intersections- All three are structural ways to operate an organization.
They’re all managerial and transactional. All are impersonal and lack
humanistic qualities. They’re all task oriented structures.
