Alexander is known for being a great conqueror, but how was he as an administrator?
What was his overall vision like regarding policies implemented in his conquered territories?
How popular were they?
Given his rather short period of not being on campaign, how much direct control did he have in the implementation of them, and how much was devolved to regional leaders while he was off fighting?
Also given the short period of time between conquest and death, and much was even put in place?
I think you're really getting towards the answer yourself based on the evolution of your questions! Alexander was a conqueror, not an administrator arguably meaning he never had an empire in the first place. The generals that divided up the conquered territory would become the administrators and ultimately shape the rest of Greek history.
But for the short period that Alexander was alive there isn't much evidence of his plans for the majority of the empire. We know that as he conquered territories he would marry his generals to local royalty and those generals would then be in charge. Generally, he never really interrupted the daily practices of a town very much (besides the whole conquering thing) mainly because it's really not a smart practice to completely destroy a new asset.
As for his role with Greece, we know he went on a huge propaganda campaign monitored by his mother that set out to make him a son of Zeus, effectively placing himself in line with other Ancient Greek heroes like Odysseus and Achilles. This very much upset the Greeks for two reasons. FIrst, Alexander tried to assert himself as fundamentally Greek when he was in fact Macedonian and second it was not in line with their myths (that's another explanation for another time) leading to a lot of revolts and instability.
tl;dr we don't really know a lot about his plans, and most of the immediate administration was handled by regional leaders and generals he married off to them.
