Henry Fayol

Henri Fayol was a French engineer and management theorist who developed principles to improve organizational efficiency. He believed that management involves specific functions—planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling—that help organizations operate smoothly. Fayol also identified 14 key principles, such as unity of command and division of work, which guide effective management practices. His ideas have laid the foundation for modern management by emphasizing structured processes and clear leadership roles, helping managers make better decisions and organize work more effectively.
