Leading
The next management function is leading which involves demonstrating mangers’ leadership to motivate staff members for organisational success. Weinbach and Taylor (2015) states that leading is about “the manager’s conscious efforts to influence other persons within the organisation to engage willingly in those behaviours that contribute to achievement of organisational goals” (p.101).

Staff members will be motivated to contribute their best work if information, responsibility, and authority for decision-making are give to them within their areas of expertise (Schermerhorn et al., 2017).

For example, a manager at a women-centred health information service is aware of the importance of positive relationship among the collective members.

At the same time, new members feel that their voices are not heard. Leading a group of people is not a simple task for managers. They are required to have adequate skills and ability to connect with staff
