A department head (also AL or AbtL) is a manager who heads the organizational unit of the department .
The tasks of the department head are structured and named in the job description and the organizational chart of the company . His tasks include the technical-organizational and personnel management of the department, for example the flow of information , the coordination with other departments, and he is the interface to the direct superior or to the management .
In a company, in addition to the department head, there may also be, for example, section , department, subject, group , team , department and main department heads (HAL). The hierarchy is handled differently in companies or in their special types of company .
The Bundeswehr also has department heads from the battalion level up, but especially in large units.
