Managers in the deliberation theory are members of the group that are responsible for '''[[decision making]]''' and [[motivation|motivating ]] group members with accordance of accordaning to 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 will be evaluated by higher mangers for their ability to promte their intrests, and to play politics in a way that will cause things to happen. Mangers do this by knoweing people and engaing them in a way that motivate them to do what the managers want. ==Difficulties in Management== 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 They 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 powers in the organization. They will use exclusive knowledge, as an advantage to manipulate the system to his their 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.
 
==Difficulties in Management==
Difficulties in management will arise when the managers are '''not well adjusted making decisions or motivating their workers and other managers in the organization'''. When a manager takes decisions which are perceived by other members as bad decisions, her legitimacy will decline. When she is unable to motivate workers and managers, her status might be challenged. In order to compensate on inability to make appropriate decisions and motivating other members, often '''managers tend to use force'''. They might talk in a threatening voice, and may imply that they may fire whom who do not obay. They will try to gain power and make others comply to their will, because they hold resources or power that is important to others. For instance a manager that may have decision power on who will go to a vacation or not, will use this power to achieve the compliance of other members who need or want to go to a vacation.
