$(20$ Marks$)$

"A comprehensive definition for management then, would be the pursuit of organisational goals through the use of organisational resources. 'Pursuit' implies a chance of failure and 'organisational' gives us a context. This begs the question $-$ how can we become effective at the pursuit of goals, or become more efficient in our use of organisational resources? Being good at management requires an immense focus on both of these ends, and we can achieve this through the process of the planning, organising, leading, and controlling functions of management. $"($Lloyd and Aho, $2020)$

Discuss the planning, leading, organising and controlling management functions, highlighting the way in which they facilitate management's pursuit of goals and efficient use of organisational resources. Provide examples to motivate your answer.
