[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 912108, member: 766"] Let's say that you've worked for several years in the engineering department of a mid-sized manufacturing plant. The plant is underfunded by the parent company, its facilities and equipment are outdated (bordering on obsolete), and the management team is not good. After another dismal quarter, the CEO of the parent company fires the plant manager and calls you into a meeting. "Congratulations, Bob," he says (though that's not your real name). "I'm naming you Interim Plant Manager. I know you weren't directly responsible for the slump in production we've experienced over the past 3.5 years...or what went on before that. But enough talk of the past...let's talk about your future here." "Things at the plant are a mess, and frankly, I'm looking outside for a new plant manager who can turn things around. Until that decision is made, we want you to hold down the fort, so to speak. As you might expect, we aren't willing to invest any more money into a plant that's underperforming. Additionally, it's too late in the production season to make major changes to the middle managers that report to you. Honestly, things got so bad under the recent manager, I'm not even sure who you could get to come here. The seasonal workers we rely on every day are already in place for the year, and as you know, all the employees with better skill sets were snapped up by our competition for higher wages and better advancement opportunities. The truth is: you can't expect or make any major changes. Finally, morale among all our shareholders, employees and customers is at an all-time low. So, that's that." "In the meantime, Bill (that's not your name, either), we expect you to turn things around quickly. Remember, your future here is riding on this. I'm confident you'll be successful. Good luck."
