Divide and Rule is a man management approach where leaders always instigate the staff members to always be at strive. That gives the leaders more power because the subjects can't be united for a common course.

Is Divide and Rule really a bad business management strategy or it is something that is necessary for some situations in business?

I do not think there is anything wrong with delegating tasks to all the people working in a company. The most important thing is that they are working toward a common goal or goals.

In business, there must be delegation of tasks, so that leaders can organize their employees to work in a more disciplined manner, without rules work will always be delayed and customers will go elsewhere.

It depends because some elements of the team are toxic people or could have some conflicts between them so the work doesn't work as expected.

For me l would say that the divide and rule strategy is better on the business. This is because every department would be manned independently

When it comes to managing a business, I’d say divide and rule is an absolutely terrible philosophy. I’m sure that works being a dictator, but it certainly goes against anything you’re taught in the management field.

The divide and rule is still very cool way for the business growth for sure.

You will build a better business if you work in unity, instead of divided and rule. You need to work together

Divide and rule is widely used by the rich and powerful to keep the poorer communities poor and become richer. Relatives and friends are rewarding for betraying hardworking meritorious professionals from poorer communities.

That's very correct. A business is a team work. Even when someone is running a sole ownership business it will become successful only when there are people to assist him

It is not ethical for a strategy of divide and rule to be used to manage a business. It can make the business to have lots of infractions.

I wouldn't like this at well. I think it is a bad strategy. you would create a workplace that is toxic for some category of the staff

I believe coming together and actually working together would produce a more better result compared to the divide and rule method.

Personally, i believe the divide and rule approach in personnel management in business is bad. This is because it creates division or conflicts among the team members. It might provide a short term gain but it is harmful in the long run.

Divide and rule may work at the initial stage but it is certain that it would always capitulate at the end.

Some managers have deployed this divide and rule to work well for them. Such a manager has to be very subtle in manipulation to succeed with it.
