It is irrelevant whether the lead actually carries out the required activities. He can also arrange or coordinate that their complete or partial handling is carried out by other bodies.

If the lead does not act himself, he gathers the necessary information , initiates the necessary processes and issues the necessary orders to others. He coordinates and monitors all required contributions in terms of their content and schedule . He usually prepares the decisions that are due and ensures that the goals set are achieved. The lead does not have a stronger right to influence than the other participants, who are in principle equal. The definition of the lead does not reduce the rights of the other participants, who can still take an initiative to achieve the goals at any time . However, the lead person is obliged to take the initiative within the scope of his area of responsibility.
The definition of lead management makes sense if several bodies, persons or organizations have to work together in the performance of tasks. The lead should always lie with only one person, the main person in charge. The lead management can generally also change from case to case and be passed on to a contractor for partial tasks ( secondary lead management ).
Leading responsibilities are often mentioned in the task descriptions of organizational plans. Most of the time, however, the responsibility lies with the body from which the initiative originates. Non-lead responsibilities are usually referred to as participation .
