Nestle tend to focus more on financial aspects of the project and overlook the employee engagement.

Leading process is manager need to direct and coordinate the work activities to the people. Managers need to inspire employees, direct the activities to them, select the most effective communication channel, and resolve conflicts among people that they are leading (Robbins, .DeCenzo, & Coulter, 2015).

This also stumped for the leader. When leader hires employees, he needs to consider many aspects. Then, significant issue encountered by Nestle is this leadership very time consuming. For example, sometimes the decision which is very difficult to determine and there are many view and opinion from employees and leader. So, they would be discussed for a long time.
