The purpose of HRM is fundamentally to maximise the output of the organisation by augmenting the effectiveness of its employees. Employees are an essential factor of achieving competitive advantage in organisations. Advancement in technology has left a paltry room to maneuver in the quest to differentiate products or services hence the focus on people based strategies. A number of studies have attempted to address a question of people management as a vital tool to accomplishing more with less effort. Nevertheless, most studies tended to be skewed towards specific areas leaving out a wealth of aspects critical to the subject. Accordingly, this study attempted to address the topic of people management using the 5W and 1H as an all-encompassing approach to achieving more with less effort in people management. This study is aimed at ascertaining essential elements in people management to achieve, augment and sustain employee output with less effort.A narrative review of literature was used in this study to get insights of the subject under investigation. A narrative review was used to fully explain concepts related to the subject and how they augment with the current study. A total of 38 journal articles on people management were reviewed, particularly from Elsevier, Science Direct and JSTOR.The study revealed that people management focus at all levels of HR in organisations. Behaviours, values, norms and habits should resonate with the organisation's goals. Formal structural set up in organisations facilitated good leadership practices, for continuous and timely management of behaviours, habits, aptitudes and team effort. Further, the implementation of management systems, processes and principles which if intertwined with a suitable strategy enhance efficiency output and competitive advantage of the organisation.The study concludes that a sustained blend of appropriate human resource processes, strategies and leadership styles sprout a culture that differentiate

Many researchers have come up with various approaches in an attempt to explain how strategy can be applied in different sectors. Undoubtedly, a good strategy always stems from a thorough analysis of the organization's position in the market and that's where its strength and weaknesses, together with the opportunities and threats are incorporated. Further, a strategy without goals is nothing, setting goals is vital because they determine the future direction of a company. Therefore, this paper is aimed at discussing on strategy using narrative review of the literature as a methodology in an effort to understand and appreciate how strategy can be of help in an organisation. This methodology of study was chosen due to the fact that knowledge production in the field of business research is accelerating at a tremendous rate, while remaining fragmented and interdisciplinary. Consequently, literature studies as a research method are more relevant than ever. Traditional literature reviews often lack thoroughness and consistency and are conducted ad hoc rather than following specific methodologies. It further explores different strategies that can be used to foster better performance in an organisation. Different sources were utilized to review the literature which included; google scholar, pdf drive, JSTOR among others.

Most organisations have collapsed as a result of crises situations. Essential resources including lives have been lost in the wake of crises.

This paper systematically reviewed articles on crisis management and leadership roles from JSTOR and Elsevier open databases. The articles were not limited to time period, to allow for a comprehensive search. The study used a systematic literature review. A total of 815 Journal articles were initially identified, 633 of which were dropped as they were out of context, while 182 articles were selected. A further 140 articles were found inappropriate, leaving 42 articles for final review. The study attempted to identify and integrate leadership roles essential in crises management, from different articles thereby providing a more elaborate source that could guide leadership and database for various stakeholders. The results of this study showed that majority of the articles, 40.47%, consisted of an average of four out of the eight essential roles identified. None of the articles comprehensively addressed most of the essential roles of leadership in managing crises. The study identified eight essential roles which included spearheading the entire process of crisis management, guiding on: collaborative effort, setting up a contingency plan, research and keeping stock of past experiences. Others were implementing training and retraining on crises related subjects, putting in place a communication strategy, establishing a crisis kit, and resource allocation. The paper concluded that there were gaps in articles reviewed, there was no single article reviewed which contained all eight essential roles therein. Information on essential roles of leadership for crises management was not comprehensively covered in any of the single articles, but scattered across different articles. This article has therefore attempted to place all the eight identified essential roles for managing crises, in one article which would be helpful to leaders. The study results may be helpful to further research on leadership perspective of managing crises in organisations.

Most organisations have collapsed as a result of crises situations. Essential resources including lives have been lost in the wake of crises. Leadership have essential roles to play in ensuring that the effect of crises were minimized in organisations. Leadership make strategic decisions, shape organization culture and facilitate resource allocation for execution of activities essential for the survival of the organisation. Although crises were unpredictable, and vary in nature magnitude and impact, it was important to put in place a general and comprehensive plan to mitigate the severity of the aftermath. This paper systematically reviewed articles on crisis management and leadership roles from JSTOR and Elsevier open databases. The articles were not limited to time period, to allow for a comprehensive search. The study used a systematic literature review. A total of 815 Journal articles were initially identified, 633 of which were dropped as they were out of context, while 182 articles were selected. A further 140 articles were found inappropriate, leaving 42 articles for final review. The study attempted to identify and integrate leadership roles essential in crises management, from different articles thereby providing a more elaborate source that could guide leadership and database for various stakeholders. The results of this study showed that majority of the articles, 40.47%, consisted of an average of four out of the eight essential roles identified. None of the articles comprehensively addressed most of the essential roles of leadership in managing crises. The study identified eight essential roles which included spearheading the entire process of crisis management, guiding on: collaborative effort, setting up a contingency plan, research and keeping stock of past experiences. Others were implementing training and retraining on crises related subjects, putting in place a communication strategy, establishing a crisis kit, and resource allocation. The paper concluded that there were gaps in articles reviewed, there was no single article reviewed which contained all eight essential roles therein. Information on essential roles of leadership for crises management was not comprehensively covered in any of the single articles, but scattered across different articles. This article has therefore attempted to place all the eight identified essential roles for managing crises, in one article which would be helpful to leaders. The study results may be helpful to further research on leadership perspective of managing crises in organisations.
