Document Summary

By examining different management philosophies, we can better understand: how to best manage people, the differences in managing between small and large organizations, what approaches are relevant for today"s organizations, and what managers do. #interpersonal roles include those managerial tasks that arise from the manager"s formal authority base and involve relationships with either other organizational members or external parties. Figurehead roles are typically ceremonial or symbolic in nature. For example, in the role of a figurehead, a supervisor might hand out employee of the month awards at a company banquet. #in the leader role, the manager may serve as a motivator, a communicator, and a coordinator of her subordinates" activities. This might include conducting performance appraisals, offering training to a new recruit, and so on. A final role within the interpersonal grouping is that of liaison, which includes those managerial activities that involve developing relationships with members of the organization outside the manager"s area of authority.
