Most forward-looking organizations have transformation programs to address issues related to becoming more efficient and competitive. Additionally, some have decided that the solutions to being successful rest with their frontline leaders and managers. These progressive organizations are challenging their leaders and managers by providing the support and resources they require and then holding them accountable for their performance outcomes.* As all frontline managers need to demonstrate leadership, the text has a leadership theme throughout and details how leadership skills can be developed and practiced.* Practical tools and processes, including diagrams, frameworks, surveys, checklists and cases, are spread throughout the book for frontline leaders as well as facilitators/teachers of frontline management.* Covers: team formation, coaching, communications, innovation linkages and maintaining employability for frontline leaders. Since the operational frontline is the focus for the achievement of profit, as well as for effective service and product delivery, other organizational units need to support the frontline. Written specifically for frontline operational leaders and managers, this text describes the environment and new patterns of management in which frontline leaders must work, and prepares students for success in frontline leadership through skills development and improved awareness and self-confidence.

Sports leadership on the field conjures up all sorts of expectations—with the main one being success. When a sporting team loses a game, you may hear coaches say: “We did not have the mental ability to win”, “There was no team unity and nobody stood up to lead”, or “There just seemed to be a lack of leadership accountability”. When you ask a coach to explain their comments about leadership, you get all sorts of answers—mainly from the technical aspects of the sport. Sports leadership intelligence is still in its infancy and while leadership behavior is well advanced in business in the private and public arena, a lot more work is required to develop the correlation between leadership behavior (on-field) and improved sporting performance.
