Mary P. Follett's four main principles of coordination are discussed below :-
1. Principle of Early Stage
According to this principle, coordination must start at an early stage in the
management process. It must start during the planning stage. This will result
in making the best plans and implementing these plans with success. If
coordination is started early only then all the management functions will be
performed successfully. Thus by initiating proper coordination the
organisation will achieve all its objectives easily and quickly.
2. Principle of Continuity
According to this principle, coordination must be a continuous process. It
must not be a one-time activity. The process of coordination must begin when
the organisation starts, and it must continue until the organisation exists.
Coordination must be done continuously during the management process. It
must be done during planning, organising, directing and controlling.
3. Principle of Direct Contact
According to this principle, all managers must have a Direct Contact with their
subordinates. This will result in good relations between the manager and
their subordinates. This is because direct contact helps to avoid
misunderstandings, misinterpretations and disputes between managers and
subordinates. It enables the managers to coordinate all the different activities
of their subordinates effectively and efficiently.
4. Principle of Reciprocal Relations
The decisions and actions of all the people (i.e of all managers and
employees) and departments of the organisation are inter-related. So, the
decisions and actions of one person or department will affect all other
persons and departments in the organisation. Therefore, before taking any
decision or action all managers must first find out the effect of that decision or
action on other persons and departments in the organisation. This is called

the Principle of Reciprocal Relations. Co-ordination will be successful only if
this principle is followed properly.
Additional Principles of Coordination
After Mary Parker Follett, modern management experts have extended her list
by adding four additional principles of coordination. These additional or
supplementary principles of coordination are explained as follows :-
5. Principle of Effective Communication
Co-ordination will be successful only in the presence of an effective
communication. Good communication must be present between all
departments, within employees themselves and even between managers
and their subordinates. All communication barriers and gaps must be
avoided and fixed. Good communication helps to avoid misunderstandings in
the organisation. This overall helps in coordination.
6. Principle of Mutual Respect
Coordination will be successful only if there exist a mutual respect throughout
the organisation. All managers working at different levels (top, middle or
lower) must respect each other. Similarly, all employees must show a friendly
attitude and should respect each other during interactions. There must also
exist a feeling of brotherly hood among managers and employees. The
managers must respect the feelings and emotions of the employees. On the
other hand, employees too must understand and acknowledge their bosses.
Without mutual respect, coordination may not survive, and it will eventually fail.
7. Principle of Clarity of Objectives
Co-ordination will be successful only if the organisation has set its clear
objectives. Everyone in the organisation must know the objectives very clearly.
No one must have any doubts about the objectives of the organisation. Clear
objectives can be achieved easily and quickly.
