Industrial Compound Management

Good luck to you, tlon!

I'll bet that you are asking about what does a "division manager" do. A division manager is responsible for multiple plant operations in a division.

If you would google "division manager," you will get links to many job descriptions that may help you understand the scope and responsibilities.

I would personally expect you to set high standards for safe operations. Create a process that assures the quality of your divisions products and services. Set up a system that reports performance measureables daily, and compare them to your standard. Coach and teach. Demand that promises be kept, whether to customers, fellow employees, or suppliers. help your employees achieve Efficient performance, and cost effective management, while being a good neighbor and assuring compliance with all laws. You will need to stand up for your people when they did the wrong things for the right reasons. You will listen to facts, not opinions, and you will listen long before speaking. Keep your mind on the mission, and share your vision of success with all who will listen. visit the various locations and speak with everyone there, and here there concerns. ask to see pictures of their family, and show them pictures of yours, so that everyone knows who all is counting on your success.

Finally, I would expect you to create a culture of continuous improvement. If you can just do these things, You will be successful and respected by all, and honored by your descendants.

Fail to do any of these to your best ability, and you will just be another incompetent boss to be disrespected by all and gamed by many. Ignore safety and quality, and you may get to learn the power of the legal system.

Keep posting on forums like this and you'll continuously improve your ability to communicate. That will be an enabler of your success as well.

Congratulations on your promotion.

remember-SAFETY FIRST!
