PART II

Establishing a

Solid Departmental

Foundation

manager of your department, what is your main overall objec-
tive?” you might say something like, “I want to build a strong
and productive departmental structure.” Few people would
argue with that response. It’s a goal that is not only reasonable
but also achievable. The fi rst step toward achieving your goal is
to build a solid foundation, one that can support the departmen-
tal structure you want to create.
