High-quality management of a large company is impossible without the organization of separate divisions. The well-coordinated work of all departments subordinate to a common strategy is able to bring the company into the market leader. At the same time, the competent organization of the work of each of the divisions plays a key role.

Step 1
Write down the goals and objectives that are set for the unit. As a rule, the department is not created in isolation: it is directly related to the work of the entire company and is subordinated to the general strategy. Determine the results you expect from the department.
Step 2
Before staffing a department with personnel, determine how all tasks can be completed with the least number of people. After that, recruit the required specialists. Make up a clear job description for each of them, which would be not just a formal document, but a guide to action. Determine the hierarchy between subordinates in the department and assign the degree of responsibility for each. Decide which employee will replace the absent colleague.
Step 3
Delegate authority to the head of the unit. Even in a small work collective, there must be a person responsible for the final result. Do not try to delve into all the nuances of the process - let your boss do his job well and present its results to you.
Step 4
Decide how you will control the department's workflow. It is advisable to issue a list of tasks at the beginning of a certain reporting period (month, quarter). During this period, the entire department or each employee must submit an interim report to monitor the work. After the expiration of the designated period, the unit must report on the results of the work. It can be a wrap-up meeting, a presentation, or a standard report.
Step 5
Increase the authority of the department if the result of the work suits you and you see the potential. One of the practiced ways of organizing the activities of a unit is its transfer to self-financing. This method increases the level of risk and responsibility, but at the same time allows you to achieve better performance.
