of all managers. The ten roles are
divided into three groups: interpersonal,
informational, and decisional.

interpersonal contact is one of the most effective ways to reduce
prejudice between different group members. Properly managed
contact between the groups should reduce problems and lead to better
interactions. It seems simple – if one has the opportunity to
communicate with others, then one is able to understand and
appreciate different points of views involving different ways of life.
