Collective Interest over Individual Interest

 Collective Interest over Individual Interest [6]





  • The broad interest of the team as a whole should be prioritised above an individual’s personal interest.

  • One person’s preference should not derail the entire organisation’s process.

  •   This was significant because if one person splits from the group, the whole organisation could be in jeopardy. The organisation’s stability is vital to its lifespan.


For example:

  • If a team planned a corporate trip away, the team member in charge of booking accommodation and making arrangements must do so with affordability and practicality in mind, rather than prioritising their personal wants and needs.

  • In another situation, one employee may think that they are entitled to smoke in the workplace, however the health and comfort of the entire team must be prioritised here.

As well as rank, Fayol argues that a manager's intelligence, experience and values should command respect.

Division of Labour

Division of Labour [1] The first Henry Fayol principle of management is based on the theory that if an employee is given a specific task to do, they will become more efficient and skilled in it. Productivity increases as employees become more skilled, assured and efficient. Today, experts still warn against multi-tasking. Even in Trinity, we see this principle in action. Every department has a different responsibility, like the academic registry, sports centre, administration, sanitation etc. These responsibilities are taken care of by employees specialising in that particular department, increasing efficiency and productivity and making them specialists in their field.
