MANAGEMENT ROLES
A. Top managers are often required to fulfil what Mintzberg described as
figurehead activities. They are the public face of the management team
and represent the business in legal, economic, and social forums.
B. Middle managers are also leaders, although their focus may be more on
interpersonal skills, such as motivating employees, negotiating salaries,
and encouraging innovation and creativity.
C. First-line managers lead both by example when they actively participate
in the tasks assigned to their workers and by modelling the policies and
work ethics of the organization.
