Follow girl after men lost lead (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ensue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'follow' is the definition.
(ensue can mean to follow or happen as a result)

'girl after men lost lead' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'girl' could be 'sue' (girl's name) and 'sue' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'en' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ensue that I've seen before include "Follow afterwards" , "Come along afterwards" , "Occur afterwards" , "Arise" , "Occur as a result (of)" .)
