There are traditionally 14 principles of management (based upon theories developed by Henri Fayol) and they are: (1) Authority; (2) Scalar Chain; (3) Discipline; (4) Unity of Command; (5) Unity of Direction; (6) Division of Labour; (7) Remuneration; (8) Order; (9) Equity; (10) Subordination; (11) Centralisation; (12) Stability of Tenure; (13) Initiative; (14) Espirit de Corps. However when these were developed management had a very traditional approach to work and workers. As time has passed, we have a different concept of work and organisations such as Apple have shown that the old carrot and stick approach (I say you do) is changing. I would like to add a further 6 namely: (15) Culture; (16) Individual Self Determination; (17) Worthwhile Work; (18) Appreciation; (19) Motivation; (20) Behaviours.
