Don Sakaguchi, manager at Control Systems, Inc., sighs as he sips his coffee at 5 A. M. and reads his agenda for the day. Don's first duty is to preside over a retirement party for a beloved employee and say a few words on her behalf. Next, he will give a tour to a news reporter who is writing a story on the new plant expansion. Don then has a meeting with the unit manager, Phil Johnson, to discuss Phil's recent performance drop (a task Don always hates). Finally, in the late afternoon, Don will be reviewing the recent equipment malfunction and deciding whether to deploy extra people to get the equipment running as soon as possible. What a day

When Don attends the retirement party, he will be operating in which of the management roles?

a. leader

b. liaison

c. monitor

d. figurehead

Don's role of going to the retirement party is a ceremonial role because he doesn't really have any work to do there rather than representing the organization he works for during an important event. In this scenario, he is said to be performing the role of a figurehead.

Don is not not a leader because he is not motivating his employees, he is not a liason because he is not linking the outside world and he is not a monitor because he is not keeping watch over tasks or evaluating the tasks.
