LESSON

To fully understand the job of a manager, we need to examine the different

roles of a manager in an organization.
But before we proceed to the different roles of a manager, let us first identify
the meaning of a role. A role is defined according to Wikipedia is a set of connected
behaviors, rights, obligations, beliefs, and norms as conceptualized by people in a

7
social situation. It is an expected or free or continuously changing behavior and may
have a given individual social status or social position.
A manager wears many hats. Not only as a manager, a team leader, but he
or she is also a planner, organizer, cheerleader, coach, problem-solver, and
decision- maker — all rolled into one.
Managerial roles are first published in “Mintzberg on Management: Inside
our Strange World of Organizations," in 1990. He described a set of ten roles of a
manager and it falls into three categories:

INTERPERSONAL CATEGORY

The managerial roles in this category involve providing information and

ideas. It involves human interaction inside and outside work unit.

1. Figurehead – As a manager, you have social, ceremonial, and legal

responsibilities. You're expected to be a source of inspiration. People look up
to you as a person with authority, and as a figurehead.
2. Leader – This is where you provide leadership for your team, your
department, or perhaps your entire organization; and it's where you manage
the performance and responsibilities of everyone in the group.
3. Liaison – Managers must communicate with internal and external contacts.
You need to be able to network effectively on behalf of your organization.

INFORMATIONAL CATEGORY

The managerial roles in this category involve processing information.

1. Monitor – In this role, you regularly seek out information related to your
organization and industry, looking for relevant changes in the environment.
You also monitor your team, in terms of both their productivity and their
well-being.
2. Disseminator – This is where you communicate potentially useful
information to your colleagues and your team.
3. Spokesperson – Managers represent and speak for their organization. In
this role, you're responsible for transmitting information about your
organization and its goals to the people outside it.

8
DECISIONAL CATEGORY

The managerial roles in this category involve using information.

1. Entrepreneur – As a manager, you create and control change within the

organization. This means solving problems, generating new ideas, and
implementing them.
2. Disturbance Handler – When an organization or team hits an unexpected
roadblock, it's the manager who must take charge. You also need to help
mediate disputes within it.
3. Resource Allocator – You'll also need to determine where organizational
resources are best applied. This involves allocating funding, as well as
assigning staff and other organizational resources.
4. Negotiator – You may be needed to take part in, and direct, important
negotiations within your team, department, or organization.
