Fayol's Relevance We chose Henri Fayol because his principles are still relevant today. His principles advocate teamwork and working together for the mutual benefit of the business. The Five Functions reveal the need for organisations to plan and be agile in the face of changing market conditions. Fayol was one of the first people to recognise that management is a continuous process. Before human resources management, Fayol wrote about motivating people by inspiring initiative, commanding respect through values, and ensuring that people have the time and training they need to be happy and productive at work.

Esprit de Corps [13] The term ‘esprit de corps’ is a French term which translates to union is strength and team spirit. This principle is all based on unity of strength within an organisation. This principle states that there should be a harmony and mutual understanding between all employees.This allows the organisation to thrive and work more efficiently. At the same time this boosts morale within a company through working as a part of a team. This principle is important for organisations today as it allows companies to operate more efficiently  than individuals  working on an assignment. As well as boosting morale, it increases the amount of socialising an employee has. Example:  Most companies would make use of teamwork to complete tasks and assignments as products are better developed when there is more than one opinion monitoring it.  George

 Initiative [12]   The management science theory initiative says that management should support and encourage employees to take initiatives in an organisation.  This means an eagerness to initiate actions without being asked to do so,  and to suggest improvement in formulation and implementation of strategies. This will help them to increase their motivation and morale.  As Fayol wrote, "At all levels of the organisational ladder, zeal and energy on the part of employees are augmented by initiative." Employees can be encouraged to take initiative with the help of monetary & non-monetary incentives. Aiden
