Theory: Max Weber's Theory of Bureaucracy
Why: Nardelli had what it took to be an influential leader because he knew how to take a company from the bottom and rebuild it. He was able to increase profits and allow the company to strive. However, he failed to realize that having leadership does not necessarily give you complete power. He cared less about the people working for him, and more about himself. He essentially abused the power he was given because he thought he had complete control. This is not a quality that a CEO should have, because while it may still turn profits, it makes for a terrible work environment.

Theory: Max Weber's Theory of Bureaucracy
Why: This situation fit this theory because Nardelli is a man of influence and power. His leadership helped the company , but it also gave him so much power. He had the authority, but eventually ended up abusing it. While seemingly being a great choice as CEO because if his drive, he actually did a poor job of caring for his employees because he had all the power.

Theory: Max Weber's Theory of Bureaucracy
Why: I chose this theory of classical management because it is all about authority. Nardelli is a man with a lot of power. People obviously did what he told them to do because of the significant influence he had over them. He was focused on production and ran things in an efficient manner.

Theory: Max Weber's Theory of Bureaucracy
Why?: After reading the article about Robert Nardelli's skills as a leader of Home Depot, it became very clear to me that Nardelli did take a struggling company's finances and turn into a thriving business. However, I think that he let greed and power go to his head. Some workers did appreciate Nardelli's leadership in the beginning, but as he changed into a leader who didn't care about others, which caused some people's opinions to change over time. One of Nardelli's favorite sayings is: "Facts are friendly." He seemed less concerned about people being friendly. Some saw this as a strength. "This guy is maniacal about goals, objectivity, accomplishments within the boundaries of the values of the company", said Kenneth G. Langone, the third co-founder of Home Depot, a member of its board of directors, and a strong Nardelli ally. Also, some would say that Nardelli's leadership resembled a dictatorship. Which led to the company and his decision for him to resign.

Theory: Max Weber's Theory of Bureaucracy
Why: After reading the article, it is plain to see that Robert Nardelli was quite the leader to everybody else in the company. He worked incredibly hard and things seemed to be for the better in the beginning. He knew how to run the company, business wise,  and his "numbers were quite good". However, he failed to understand how strongly power affected him. His being so high on hierarchy led him to act as dictator-like and failed to care about the people whom worked for him. Essentially he knew how to  successfully run a business and have good numbers but with failure to care for their customer service, shareholders or employees, he was not a good fit as CEO.

Theory: Max Weber's Theory of Bureaucracy
Why: The Theory of Bureaucracy is the right fit because Nardelli showed to have a take charge kind of leadership. and He became for proud because of the accomplishments he gained with in his first year with home depot. Turning things around and raising the gross profit. he rode that all the way to the top until things began to fall with in the company from the inside. he felt because he was at the top it didn't matter what happened or what others said he should still be the one to gain it all. He only thought of himself.

Darrion Evans

Name: Max Webber
Theory: Bureaucracy
Why: When Nardelli first took over things changed positively in the company money wise. On the other hand the people
working under Nardelli seemed to not matter to him. Nardelli showed a since of power and hierarchy within the company. For example, taking pay cuts and hours from his employees and believed "facts are friendly". He wasn't strong believer in employer and consumer satisfaction. Basically it was his way or the highway and in the  end he took the highway.

Theory: Max Webber's Theory of Bureaucracy
Why: Robert L. Nardelli, while quite savvy and knowledgeable when it came to the business world, didn't seem to know how to share the power that he had. He, according to what I have read, prefered to have sole charge of all company proceedings within Home Depot (or at least as much power as he could manage). The theory stated above, Max Webber's Theory of Bureaucracy, has many parallels to what the situation with Nardelli had.

Theory: Max Weber's-Theory of Bureaucracy
Why: Nardelli is a great leader and he knows his stuff when it comes to making a business successful. This theory resembles more of a dictatorship, which is how Nardelli seems to like to run his business, he likes to be in control with little to no disruption.
