Sir Henri Fayol (July 29, 1841 - November 19, 1925) was a French mining engineer and mining director who developed a general theory of business administration. Fayol's work was one of the first comprehensive statements of a general theory of management. Fayol was a successful mining engineer and senior executive before publishing his principle of administrative science. He was not primarily a theorist but rather a successful high-level executive who tried to put order in his personal experiences. Fayol's top five management functions are still actively practiced today
