Answer 1

Answer:

C. Henri Fayol

This principle is a foundational concept in administrative theory, emphasizing that the overall goals of the organization must always take precedence over the personal interests of an individual employee or a small group. For a company to succeed, Fayol believed that all members must work together toward a unified purpose, even if it requires individuals to make personal sacrifices for the greater good of the company.
