Fayol's Elements of Management

Within his theory, Fayol outlined five elements of management that depict the kinds of behaviors managers should engage in so that the goals and objectives of an organization are effectively met. The five elements of management are:

Planning: creating a plan of action for the future, determining the stages of the plan and the technology necessary to implement it. Organizing: Once a plan of action is designed, managers need to provide everything necessary to carry it out; including raw materials, tools, capital and human resources Command: Managers need to implement the plan. They must have an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their personnel. Coordination: High-level managers must work to "harmonize" all the activities to facilitate organizational success. Communication is the prime coordinating mechanism. Control: The final element of management involves the comparison of the activities of the personnel to the plan of action, it is the evaluation component of management.
