Keys to Developing Exceptional
Frontline Leaders
Frontline leaders play an incredibly important role in your organization. They are often
the largest leader population, and they impact areas such as team productivity, employee
engagement, and customer satisfaction. So how can you take your leaders from average
to exceptional?
1. Prepare Your First Line of Defense
Use the data you have at hand, and then get more. Have a clear picture of the gaps that exist.
Help your frontline leaders understand their blind spots and development areas—as well as
their strengths—to engage them in their own development experience.
2. Get Personal
Interpersonal skills are the biggest difference‐maker between average and exceptional leaders.
Ensure your leaders have a solid foundation in these skills and hold leaders at all levels
accountable
for using them.
3. Rethink Development
Blended learning has taken on a new meaning. When organizations understand all of the tools
and technologies available to them, and then build them into development initiatives in a
meaningful way, then your leadership development will be above average—delivering way‐
above‐average leaders!
