for the question above, I'd suggest to tackle in the following aspects:
1. Analysis - understanding the core biz and it's market place; understanding the team strengths & weaknesses and identify gaps; try to identify a good numbers of quick-win and a couple growth opportunities.
2. Plan & Proposal - work with direct manager to draft out a strategic plan base on time frame (imediate 3 months, mid-term 6-12 months, long-term 12-24months). Can't go too far, biz keep changing. A 3-5 yr plan could sound unrealistic for an operational manager.
3. Implemenation - base on timeline, list out tactical tasks and proper ownership/expertise. In this exercise, identify if there is any gap on existing resources against company goals, this will drive the direction on training/recruitment plan; list out KPI/measurements for each tasks; define success/failure together
4. Review and Improve - setup review cycle on a regular base by person/project/task. Help team to fully understand where they are heading and if they are on the right track. No surprise for everyone. Build in a transparent rewards/review system for team. Willing to face and handle problems including PIPing poor performers.
Each of these can be further elaborated. Just a small suggestion for consideration.
