I am the Director for Marketing, and there are also other directors and managers within finance. I am also the Operations Manager, and there are other managers within Personnel. I also have a team of two other managers within Production.
Marketing is where all of our company’s money is spent, and the reason we all wear the same clothing. Marketing is where the most communication is between a company and its clients, and the people in Finance manage all of the day-to-day expenditures. Finance manages all of the day-to-day expenditures, and Personnel is the people who are responsible for scheduling people, setting deadlines, and overseeing the people who make up that team.
The Production department is where we do all of our manufacturing and packaging. I get the feeling there’s a lot of redundancy within this department, which makes the company seem a little more monolithic than it actually is. I guess it comes down to the fact that in a typical large corporation, no matter how many departments we have, we can’t run around and tell everyone what to do.
I think in general it is possible to get a team that is strong in all the departments but that runs a great company. In the end it comes down to the number of people in the company, and how often they are asked to do something. The more people that are needed to do something, the more likely it is that something is going to get done, and the less likely it is that it is going to get done well.
The reason is that you can change your organization, but it’s not a sure thing. Some people don’t like to change, but others don’t want to. You have to be a good team player and have been for a while. And you are a good team player, but a lot of people won’t listen to you, so you have to put it out there. A lot of people don’t want to do that, but they don’t want to do it.
A company that has departments for marketing, finance, personnel, and production is organized by the same thing as a team. A company that has departments for marketing, finance, personnel, and production is organized by the idea that it is a team and if it can do one or two things well, then it should do everything well. That is a good way to organize things.
If you really really want to get people to listen to you, you can tell them to do this. You can tell them to do that. You can tell them that you really really need to make this happen because we need this to happen. You can tell them that you really really need to make this happen because our organization is a part of this. You can tell them to do that. You can tell them to do that. You can tell them to do that.
It’s not a magic formula, and it doesn’t mean your company will do everything well, but it does give you a sense of cohesion. It’s a good way to organize things because you know where things fit in, and it helps you sell things.
