Although managers play a critical role in identifying problems in their functional areas and providing the resources to address them, they also provide coordination to carry out the tasks. Throughout the functional areas of a business, managers must stay abreast of the ongoing departmental progress. This monitoring will assist the manager in recognizing potential problems, so that they may triage the issue and address it accordingly. This role of monitoring is also used to address concerns of the staff as well as giving guidance to them.

In situations such as this, bonds and trust are built between the staff members and management.
