Why Effective Leadership Needs Proper Vetting I recently interviewed for a Plant Manager position, only to find the process alarmingly brief—just 15 minutes focused on technical questions with no discussion on strategic business alignment. As a senior leader, I expected a conversation that would address how the role integrates with company goals, performance metrics, and leadership collaboration. The lack of focus on these critical elements raised a red flag. A company that doesn’t thoroughly vet its candidates for leadership roles may not understand the complexity of the position. Rushed interviews signal a potential lack of respect for leadership and could indicate disorganization within the company. Effective plant management is about driving business strategy, not just operations. If the interview process fails to address this, it’s a warning to trust your instincts and look elsewhere for an organization that values strategic leadership and long-term success.
