## Bio

Henri Fayol was born on 29 July 1841 and spent his career in French mining, working his way from engineer to director of mines. While Frederick Winslow Taylor was developing scientific management across the Atlantic, Fayol and his colleagues independently built what became known as Fayolism — a general theory of business administration drawn from the operational realities they'd lived. He published his framework and shifted management from intuition to method, giving structure to how organizations coordinate, command, and control. Fayol died on 19 November 1925, widely acknowledged as a founder of modern management methods.
