تمرين 1

Interview a manager at any level in any organization, including a retail store or restaurant. Determine which of the 17 managerial roles the manager you interview thinks apply to his or her job. Find out which one or two roles the manager thinks are the most important. Be ready to discuss your findings in class. You can often gain insight into which roles the manager emphasizes by asking about challenges the manager faces. For example, when asked about the biggest challenges in her job, a restaurant manager might say, "Turnover is a bear. It's so hard to find good servers who stick around for at least a year." The manager's comments indicate the organizing function.
