Course description
Frontline Leadership Excellence Program
The best organizations attract and reward top talent by offering paths for advancement. Too often, though, individual contributors transition to frontline management roles without development and support. Your frontline managers are expert operators, but can they lead?
Common challenges faced by frontline managers include:
- Low engagement of hourly employees
- Difficulty providing feedback
- Dynamics of managing former peers
In a study by Harvard Business Review, 77% of executives agreed that frontline managers play a critical role in reaching their organizational goals. Surprisingly, only 33% stated that their organization’s frontline managers display competent decision-making, and a mere 12% reported their organizations invest sufficiently in developing their frontline managers.
In addition, an astounding 90 percent believed frontline managers’ lack of leadership development negatively impacts employee engagement results.
At Performex, we developed a program to address the unique leadership challenges faced by frontline managers. With an emphasis on building communication, coaching and engagement skills, we equip frontline managers for success as they begin leading others, including their former peers.
The program includes a 2-day immersion workshop for the frontline managers and also includes a 1-day coaching workshop for their managers. Those supervising the frontline team reinforce their development goals with ongoing coaching.

Training content
The program was developed to provide frontline managers with the tools they need to succeed. Focus areas include:
- Self Awareness
- Goal Setting & Expectations
- Accountability
- Communication
- Coaching
Each manager will complete a self-assessment to identify his/her strengths and development challenges. Upon completion of the program, each participant will have created a personal development plan with clear objectives and action items to develop in one key leadership area.
Through the program, participants will become outstanding coaches, building their coaching skills through team exercises.
