I'm looking for advice on how I could schedule myself between a corporate office, and three branch locations. I need to be with our branches, as well as with our Senior Management Team. Any techniques used by Regional/Territory Managers that you could share?
- Focus on one branch per day?
- Focus on one branch for 2 or 3 days, and rotate through them?
- Multiple branches in a day?
- Other...?
I a Senior Manager (Director of Operations) for a service company (landscaping and snow removal). We employ 130 people. Branches are roughly 25 miles apart (with corporate office in the center).
- We have a corporate office that houses administrative and Senior Management (this is where my desk resides).
- We have three branches that are run by Branch Managers (BM) (with Operations Managers (OM) and Foreman reporting to them). The BM reports to me.
- We dispatch our crews from the branch locations (8-12 crews per location).
My job entails:
- Monitoring of quality/productivity in the field
- Teaching/training/delegating to BMs
- Decision making/projects/leadership for Management Team
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance!
