Supporting our Women´s Month initiative in South Africa, our plant manager Charlene gives some insights and is happy to share her experience. "I joined Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) in 2000 and was appointed permanently as an operator in 2001. Later, I was appointed team leader in 2016 and am currently acting as plant supervisor. Daily communication is essential to ensure we meet our production schedule. This continuous dialogue helps build a strong understanding and relationship among the team, enabling us to reach our targets. We do several projects for the Project Development Team. One challenge is that I, as the leader, need to understand the work authorization before I can give instructions to the team to complete the project. To motivate and support my team, I make sure they feel valued by the company. We also have an open communication system to make the workflow better and safer. To be a good leader, you need to lead by example. I am an active listener and a good communicator. I have the ability to make good decisions, especially when I am under pressure. Rheinmetall provides women opportunities to grow, and the future is bright for women. Rheinmetall Denel Munition is a place where women can excel in gender roles previously dominated by men. I am proud to be part of a company that’s taking responsibility in a changing world. I would like to encourage women to empower themselves, live out their mission, and make a difference in someone’s life."   Read more about diversity at Rheinmetall here: https://lnkd.in/e7FnqGwu #rheinmetall #career #femaleempowerment #diversity
