The five basic functions of a manager include setting and achieving objectives, organizing, and delegating tasks to their staff, motivating their team, devising systems of measurement to track progress towards goals, and investing in the development of their staff. These functions are essential for a manager to effectively lead and manage their team towards success. Leadership skills, including the ability to handle different personalities and coach team members to improve their performance, are also crucial for a manager to be effective in these roles.

* Setting and achieving objectives: A manager's primary responsibility is to set clear, measurable goals for their team and to ensure that the team is working towards achieving those goals. This involves setting both short-term and long-term objectives, and devising a plan to accomplish them. It also involves regularly reviewing progress and making adjustments as needed to keep the team on track.

* Organizing and delegating tasks: A manager must be able to effectively organize and delegate tasks to their staff in order to make the most of their time and resources. This involves breaking larger goals down into smaller, manageable tasks and assigning those tasks to the appropriate team members. It also involves providing the necessary resources and support for team members to complete their tasks effectively.

* Motivating the team: A manager must be able to inspire and motivate their team to achieve their goals. This involves creating a positive work environment, recognizing and rewarding good performance, and providing support and guidance to help team members overcome challenges.

* Devising systems of measurement: A manager must be able to track the progress of their team towards their goals. This involves devising systems of measurement to track key performance indicators (KPIs) and using those metrics to assess the team's performance.

* Investing in the development of their staff: A manager must be committed to the ongoing development of their team, and should invest in training and professional development opportunities to help team members grow and improve their skills. This may involve providing access to learning resources, coaching and mentoring, or supporting team members in pursuing additional education or certifications.
