Learning Unit 9
Leading
INTRODUCTION AND AIM OF THE UNIT
In learning unit 8, we discussed the second important element of management, namely
organising. The third complex element of management is called leadership. Leadership
is that element of management which sets activities and people in motion with a view to
ensuring that goals are accomplished. In other words, leadership refers to the ability to
inspire others to achieve an organisation’s goals. This learning unit deals with the re-
lationship between leaders and followers as well as the difference between managers
and leaders. This learning unit then discusses the different components of the leading
function and highlights the importance of communication within a business.
