From packing lanes to team leader
After nine years in the packing lanes department, Marco made the switch to the Contiflow/Maxipack department. Here, he spent a year actively working with the products to familiarize himself with them. He then became team leader of this department. In September 2023, he was given responsibility for three additional departments, which means he now manages around twenty people. "Moba offers you opportunities if you want to advance and are committed to doing so," says Marco.
The support Marco received from his team leaders and managers was crucial to his development. "They always listened to my needs and suggested suitable positions," he says. This guidance helped him discover that managing and organizing suits him well.
Challenges and solutions
During his time at Moba, Marco encountered various challenges. One major challenge was convincing people to do things differently or better. "Over time, I've learned to involve the right department at the right time and to come up with good arguments myself," he explains. Another challenge was the transfer of knowledge from older colleagues. "There's a lot of knowledge in the heads of older colleagues. You have to get it out," he says.
Future prospects
Marco sees himself continuing as team leader for a few more years, but is open to leading other departments. "I haven't learned everything there is to learn in this position yet, and I still enjoy it too much!" he says enthusiastically. He appreciates the continuous development within Moba and the new challenges that come his way. For Marco, Moba is a great place to work because of his enthusiastic and committed colleagues, the fun team, and the continuous development of the organization. "A little better every day!" he summarizes.
