detrimental to long term well being(WisnerTan and Leong, 2014). Principles of Chaos that help a
manger to perform its role and responsibilities are as follows:
The butterfly effect: This effects grants power to cause a hurricane of a butterfly flapping
its wings though it may take a very long time but connection is real. It indicates that if butterfly
not flapped it wings at just right point or time the hurricane would not happen. Eventually, this
effect help a manger to take right decision at right time so that appropriate result can be

situation which cannot be predictable within performing activities. For such instance a manger
need to be flexible in performing its roles and responsibilities so that in unexpected condition an
appropriate decision can be taken.
Feedback: In an organisation system often become chaotic when there is feedback is
presented. Herein, an efficient manner should always welcome feedbacks and according make
strategies to over come it.

employees feel safe and secure with its job so that they feel comfortable in carrying out their
duties in effective manner.

every employee are motivated so that organisation goals and objectives can be achieved.
