Mintzberg's Management Roles

Identifying the Roles Managers Play
As a manager, you probably fulfill
many different roles every day.
For instance, as well as leading
your team, you might find
yourself resolving a conflict,
negotiating new contracts,
representing your department at a
board meeting, or approving a
request for a new computer
system.
Put simply, you're constantly switching roles as tasks,
situations, and expectations change. Management expert
and professor Henry Mintzberg recognized this, and
he argued that there are ten primary roles or behaviors
that can be used to categorize a manager's different
functions.
In this article, we'll examine these roles and see how you
can use your understanding of them to improve your
management skills.
The Roles
Mintzberg published his Ten Management Roles in his
book, "Mintzberg on Management: Inside our Strange
World of Organizations," in 1990.
The ten roles are:
1. Figurehead.
2. Leader.
3. Liaison.
4. Monitor.
5. Disseminator.
6. Spokesperson.
7. Entrepreneur.
8. Disturbance Handler.
9. Resource Allocator.
10. Negotiator.

The 10 roles are then divided up into three categories, as
follows:
Category Roles
Interpersonal Figurehead
Leader
Liaison
Informational Monitor
Disseminator
Spokesperson
Decisional Entrepreneur
Disturbance Handler
Resource Allocator
Negotiator
Let's look at each of the ten managerial roles in greater
detail.
Interpersonal Category
The managerial roles in this category involve providing
information and ideas.
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.
4. 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.
5. Disseminator – This is where you communicate
potentially useful information to your colleagues and
your team.
6. 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.
Decisional Category
The managerial roles in this category involve using
information.
7. Entrepreneur – As a manager, you create and control
change within the organization. This means solving
problems, generating new ideas, and implementing them.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Negotiator – You may be needed to take part in, and
direct, important negotiations within your team,
department, or organization.
Applying the Model
You can use Mintzberg's 10 Management Roles model as
a frame of reference when you're thinking about
developing your own skills and knowledge. (This includes
developing yourself in areas that you consciously or
unconsciously shy away from.)
First, examine how much time you currently spend on
each managerial role. Do you spend most of your day
leading? Managing conflict? Disseminating information?
This will help you decide which areas to work on first.
Next, get a piece of paper and write out all ten roles.
Score yourself from 1-5 on each one, with 1 being "Very
skilled" to 5 being "Not skilled at all."
Once you've identified your weak areas, use the following
resources to start improving your abilities in each role.
Figurehead
Figureheads represent their teams. If you need to
improve or build confidence in this area, start with your
image, behavior, and reputation . Cultivate humility
and empathy , learn how to set a good example at work
, and think about how to be a good role model .

fulfilling. To improve here, start by taking our quiz, How

Briefings . Next, focus on improving your writing skills

quiz , to find out where else you can improve.
