Define directing in relation to leadership

Define directing in relation to leadership

Answers

Faith
Directing is the process of influencing people’s behaviour through motivation, communication, group dynamics, leadership and discipline. The purpose of directing is to channel the behaviour of all personnel to accomplish the organization’s mission and objectives while simultaneously helping them accomplish their own career objectives. The directing function gives the manager an active rather than a passive role in employee performance, conduct and accomplishments. Managers accomplish their objectives through people. The directing function gives managers a second responsibility: that of helping people in the organization to accomplish their individual career goals through career planning and professional development.
