Only 12% of Businesses Invest Sufficiently In Their Frontline Leaders
According to Harvard Business Review, frontline managers, foremen, and supervisors make up roughly 60% of a company’s management ranks. They are the glue that holds a business together and they are responsible for the most critical day-to-day performance metrics.
