Henri Fayol's 14 Principles

Henri Fayol's 14 Principles are guidelines for effective management. They include fairness (equity), clear authority and responsibility (scalar chain), unity of direction, and discipline. Managers should treat employees justly (equity), have clear authority lines (scalar), align efforts with common goals (unity), and maintain order. Other principles emphasize teamwork (esprit de corps), fair rewards, and stability. Companies benefit from clear communication (centralization/decentralization balance) and employee initiative. These principles help create organized, motivated workplaces where everyone understands their roles, responsibilities, and expectations, leading to better productivity and morale.
