Managers in the deliberation theory are members of the group that are responsible for '''[[decision making]]''' and motivating group members with accordance of the decided direction. In order to achieve their goals they have to be good at decision making and in their ability to motivate and supervise other members to advance along the lines of decisions made by the managers.
 
Managers are evaluated by other members of the group, and especialy by higher ranck managers, to their [[able people|ability to "make things happen"]. Because managers are promoted by their precived ability they may tend to show-off their abilities in and extravagnat ways. Thy will try to look important, and very-busy. They will connect to the higher rancks managment, and they will show that they have good connections to the higher power in the organization. They will use exclusive knowledge, as an advantage to manipulate the system to his needs, while preventing from non-colation mambers this knowledge. They will use this knowledge as a resource to be sell, in exchange to other benefits.
I suspect that Managers in big organizations will be more of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_A_and_Type_B_personality_theory A type] (also called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_%28ethology%29 alpha dominance] or '''doers'''). The Type A managers will be goal orinted and there fore will stress the system.They will consult less with their workers.
