Choose the right perspective
Match the person's own plant and the path that led them to plant leadership to your question, since someone who came up through production, quality or engineering will see a plant differently. Weigh how recently each person held the role, because someone leading a plant today and someone who led one years ago will describe different challenges.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01What did you focus on first when you took over your plant?
- 02How do you split your own time between running the plant day to day and longer-term priorities?
- 03What from the roles you held inside a plant before leading one still shapes how you run it?
