Unity of Command

Unity of Command [4]



This principle states that employees receive orders from one supervisor or manager. I believe he says this because if an employee has more than one supervisor it could lead to miscommunication and ego clashes.

In the novel “The brain instructions for using” by David Rock it clearly demonstrates how the brain reacts to multitasking. It reacts much worse and leads to errors and slower performance. This effect is lessened when employees receive only one voice telling them what to do, which is the basis of Henri Fayol's principle of unity of command.

Why is it significant?

With a clear and obvious chain of command, companies can run more efficiently and allow better performance.
