Lead

Hi,

What does 'lead someone in doing something' mean here?

Despite Ted's badmouthing of him(Mr. A) during the presentation, Mr. A leads the class in applauding him.

Thank you very much.

Mr A gets the class to applaud, probably by being the person who starts the applause when Ted finishes his presentation. Maybe Mr A even stands up to start applauding.
