Each file belongs to them.  Every office is their office.  Improving all productivity is their goal.<\/p>\n<p>Taking ownership of everything that CAD touches is what a CAD Manager should be all about.  Every process is theirs.  Every standard, every layer, every linetype.  It all  belongs to the CAD Manager.<\/p>\n<p>When a CAD Manager moves to this level of ownership they should do it before others &#8220;assign them&#8221; this task. By taking on more than you are expected to oversee, you show initiative.  Seeking responsibility increases value.  Those who are responsible for more areas have more value to the firm.<\/p>\n<p>CAD Managers who avoid taking on additional responsibility end up shedding it.   They move farther and farther from the core of the business and out to the fringes.  By doing this they are making themselves targets for possibly &#8220;transitioning away from the company&#8221;.  This means being sacked, canned, terminated or fired, whatever term you want to use.  The direction that a CAD Manager wants to be moving is toward  ownership.  Not away from it.  By deflecting responsibility, it ends up resting on someone else&#8217;s shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>CAD Management is all about accepting and embracing responsibility.
