Even a non-degenerated bureaucracy can be affected by common problems:
Overspecialization, making individual officials not aware of larger consequences of their actions
Rigidity and inertia of procedures;
Group thinking - zealotry, loyalty and lack of critical thinking regarding the organisation which is perfect and always correct by definition, making the organisation unable to change and realise its own mistakes and limitations;
Disregard for dissenting opinions, even when such views suit the available data better than the opinion of the majority;
A phenomenon of Catch-22 - as bureaucracy creates more and more rules and procedures, their complexity rises and coordination diminishes,"the bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy".
Not allowing people to use common sense, as everything must be as is written by the law.
In the most common examples bureaucracy can lead to the treatment of individual human beings as impersonal objects.
