According to Mintzberg $(1989),$ effective management involves $10$ essential skills in $3$ categories: interpersonal, informational, and decisional roles. With Mintzberg$$s framework in mind, recall the best managers you$$ve worked with recently or in the past.

What made these managers particularly great at managing people?

What skills in each of the $3$ categories do you think they were best at and why?

As you compare different managers and the essential skills that they were best at$,$ how were they all similar or different?
