Fayol was a French management theorist born in 1841 in Istanbul who developed one of the first comprehensive theories of general management and administration. He proposed that work should be divided among individuals and groups to focus effort on tasks. Fayol also emphasized that managers must have authority but also responsibility, employees should respect organizational rules, workers should receive orders from only one manager, and the interests of the organization should come before any individual interests.
