Management is essential to any organisation that wishes to be efficient and achieve its aims. Without someone in a position of authority there would be organisational anarchy with no structure and very little, if any focus. It has been said that management has four basic functions - planning, organizing, leading and controlling. Common sense dictates that without these principles of management being in place an organisation would have trouble achieving its aims, or even coming up with aims in the first place. A classic theory on the principles of management was written by Henri Fayol. It seeks to divide management into 14 principles. Having a clear management structure in place is vital for any successful organisation. Efficient and well-intentioned management sets the tone for the rest of the staff. It is common for the attitude approach of managers to filter through the entire organisation, so having managers working in an exemplary way is an excellent example for employees to follow.
