Mintzberg's Model of Managing: Random Thoughts from an Observation The classical view of a manager's role has been that he/she organizes, coordinates, plans, and controls. In 1973, Mintzberg clarified that on any given day managers are very busy, frequently interrupted, and at pains to control what they do. Revisiting his observations 35 years later, Mintzberg (2009) delineated a Model of Managing that depicts managing on three planes: through information, with people, and for action. Framed by Mintzberg's (2009) Model of Managing, this prĂŠcis presents findings, analyses, and reactions from observation of a single manager. Olivier Serrat 18/10/2018
