The ten managerial roles

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.
Effective (adj.) – Adequate to accomplish a purpose; producing the intended or
expected result.
Efficient (adj.) – Performing or functioning in the best possible manner with the least
waste of time and effort.
The difference between effectiveness and efficiency can be summed up shortly,
sweetly and succinctly –
Being effective is about doing the right things,
While being efficient is about doing things right.
Efficiency and effectiveness are not the same thing.
 Efficiency is defined as the ability to accomplish something with the least amount of wasted time,
money, and effort or competency in performance.
 Effectiveness is defined as the degree to which something is successful in producing a desired
result; success
