Fayol’s Ladder: This principle was explained by

For example, in an organization there are
employees A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, at various posts.
If employee ‘C’ has to communicate with employee Management
‘G’ using the scalar chain, the route should be like Diary

very effective and clear, but it consumes a lot of
time. In case of emergency, information will take a
lot of time to reach the desired position which may

For overcoming this limitation of scalar chain, fayol

introduced the concept of ‘Gang Plank’. According
to this concept, two executives of the organization
of different department at the same level can
communicate directly in case of emergency, so that
speedy decisions and actions could be taken. In
case of the above example, if employee ‘C’ has to
contact employee ‘G’, he can easily and directly
communicate the information to ‘G’ using this Gang
plank (‘C’4‘G’). This reduces a lot of time and helps
in effective performance.
Positive impacts of this principle:
Clear communication of information;
Better relation among employees;

/
Systematic communication in the
organization; and
Faster solution to organizational problems.
Consequences of violation of this principle:
Bitterness in the relation of employees

because of ignoring the close supervisors.
Improper communication of information;
Difficulty in finding the responsible

person.
