Mintzberg
Henry Mintzberg, a Canadian professor of management, has made significant contributions to our understanding of managerial work and the role of the manager. He has identified different roles in a manager’s job and placed them in three categories:
Interpersonal roles – a manager is the figurehead, providing leadership for the team, the department or the organization and liaising with other stakeholders (both internal and external)
Information roles – a manager has to be an effective communicator as information constantly moves in, round and out of the organization
Decision roles – a manager has responsibility for spotting opportunities, allocating resources and dealing with conflict or the day-to-day differences that can arise in any team or organization.
Management practice
Pavel is speaking to some new recruits at a major firm of management consultants, where he is to be their mentor during the first six months:
‘Welcome to Delboi! I have three pieces of advice as you make the move from studying management to the real-world environment in which we work:
First: you need to be a team player. Our success here comes from collaborating with colleagues to create feasible solutions when we are interacting with clients.
Second: all the solutions that you recommend to our clients have to be practical rather than academic. You have to integrate what you have been learning and constantly challenge your own assumptions. You need to be able to develop creative thinking skills and discuss complex issues in the workplace from a ‘people perspective’.
And finally: if you do not know something, or if you are uncertain about how we do things
here, please ask!
‘We hope you enjoy your time here and we look forward to working with you.’
