Model of Describing Managerial Work

According to Mintzberg, H (1994) mentioned in Rounding out the Manager’s Job, the model of describing managerial work consisted two major parts. The first part as delineated as ‘core’ was the person in the job, surrounded by the frame of the job and the agenda of the job. The second part was mentioned of containing three different management roles in three levels which are managing by information, managing through people, and managing action. Mintzberg, H (1994) elaborated the model with a framework of concentric circles, and mentioned the model was being built from inside out, even there was rare management style called insightful conducting the sequence from outside rather than a predisposition towards the cerebral style. The core in the concentric circles is the manager him or herself. The manager uses his or her values which are mainly experience and knowledge to build the frame of the job. In order to form the frame, before setting the agenda of the job including solving issues and scheduling time, the manager should conceive his or her purpose, and beyond which, to depict the perspective and decide the specific positions. There were three different roles in three different levels, which were mentioned by Mintzberg, H (1994) as managing information to influence people to generate assumed outcomes, managing people to encourage them to accomplish goals, and managing action directly to assure the right achievement. A good manager could manage well-rounded by integrating three levels tightly with a form of conceiving and controlling by conducting.
