Explanation:

Principle of directing - Maximum individual contribution: This principle emphasizes that directing techniques must help every individual in the organization to contribute to his maximum potential for achievement of organizational objectives. It should bring out untapped energies of employees for the efficiency of organization.

Principle of directing - Harmony of objectives: Very often, we find that individual objectives of employees and the organizational objectives as understood are conflicting to each other. For example, an employee may expect attractive salary and monetary benefits to fulfill his personal needs. The organization may expect employees to improve productivity to achieve expected profits.

Principle of directing - Unity of command: This principle insists that a person in the organization should receive instructions from one superior only. If instructions are received from more than one, it creates confusion, conflict and disorder in the organization.

Principle of directing - Appropriateness of direction technique: According to this principle, appropriate motivational and leadership technique should be used while directing the people based on subordinate needs, capabilities, attitudes and other situational variables.
