Monday, June 06, 2011 NAFA Releases New Professional Development Guide
 Many business professionals are often surprised to learn of the true complexity of the fleet manager’s role and responsibility. Too often, the business community does not see the fleet manager as accountant, asset manager, buyer and seller, or safety manager, in addition to their roles as automotive “gurus.” Often a well-managed fleet goes unnoticed within an organization until something goes wrong.
NAFA Fleet Management Association aims to help fleet managers change these perceptions through its new Professional Development Guide. The guide provides the tools to enable a fleet manager to excel professionally and demonstrate their value to their company or organization.
For a fleet to demonstrate it is an effective department, the fleet manager must convince senior management that the value of fleet far exceeds its expenses. To accomplish this, the fleet manager must determine what is perceived as valuable in the organization and understand its culture. They also must know what the mission statement of the organization is and determine how to measure fleet’s contribution towards it. None of this will work unless the fleet manager establishes an effective means of communicating what fleet is contributing to the organization and states this on a regular basis.
