Choose the right perspective
Match the person's own plant and the work they describe there to your question, since running one kind of plant can look very different from running another. Weigh how recently each person took the role, because someone new to a plant and someone who has led it for years 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 the floor and the people you report to?
- 03What from the roles you held inside a plant before leading one still shapes how you run it?
