This is an example of discretionary work, as the manager is choosing to take on a task that could be done by someone else. It is not manager-imposed or system-imposed, as the manager is not being forced to take on the task by higher-ups or by the system, and it is not other-imposed, as there is no one else forcing the manager to do the task.
