Explanation

Henri Fayol's 14 principles of management include 'unity of command' (employees should receive orders from one superior) and 'scalar chain' (clear chain of authority from top to bottom). However, 'core competence' is a modern strategic management concept from Prahalad and Hamel (1990s), not part of Fayol's classical management work. 'Personnel tenure' is also not among Fayol's 14 principles, though stability of tenure is.
