Information Role
In the monitor role, managers scan their environment for information, actively contact others for information, and, because of their personal contacts, receive a great deal of unsolicited information.
In the disseminator role, managers share the information they have collected with their subordinates and others in the company.
In contrast to the disseminator role, in which managers distribute information to employees inside the company, managers in the spokesperson role share information with people outside their departments and companies.
