A manager should replace ‘I’ with ‘We’ in all his conversation with workers to foster team spirit. This statement indicates which of the following principles of management given by Fayol?

Correct option is C

Henri Fayol proposed 14 Principles of Management, one of which is Esprit de Corps, meaning team spirit, unity, and harmony among employees. The idea behind this principle is:
· Managers should encourage teamwork.
· They should create harmony and motivate employees to work collectively.
· Use of terms such as “We” instead of “I” reinforces unity and belongingness.
Thus, the statement “replace ‘I’ with ‘We’ to foster team spirit” directly reflects the principle of Esprit de Corps.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Option (c) Esprit de Corps
