This handbook offers practical ways for deputies (Deputy Directors, Assistant Directors, etc.) to enhance their effectiveness. It presents concepts for understanding their roles and responsibilities, as well as recommended exercises for building skills and improving practices.
Regardless of differences in specific duties and authority, all deputies play a special role in their organizations. They hold positions very close to the top, so that they are privy to conversations about important big picture and external matters. At the same time, they have closer contact than CEOs do, to the staff and day-to-day operations. In addition, although they may have line responsibilities for particular functions, they also easily operate across functions.
It is this fluidityvertical and horizontal, internal and externalthat enables deputies to see the organization as no one else can.
