Guiding is also known as which management activity?

• A. Coordinating
• B. Supervising
• C. Directing
• D. Regulating

Answer: (C)

Guiding a team in management means providing direction and leadership to get work done. Directing encompasses communicating plans, assigning tasks, motivating people, and supervising day-to-day activities to achieve goals. When you guide someone, you explain what needs to be done, show how to do it, encourage effort, and intervene to remove obstacles. That combination of instruction, motivation, and oversight is exactly what directing covers. The other terms are narrower: coordinating is about aligning different parts of the organization, supervising focuses on overseeing performance rather than the broader act of giving direction, and regulating is about control and compliance rather than guiding actions.
