Synopsis

Linking the role of frontline manager to the rest of the organization, managers and administrators should learn the skills of mentoring, team-building, decision-making, taking charge, and working and communicating with staff at all levels. The guide demonstrates how you can: define your role in the broader context of your organization's mission; foster a team atmosphere; communicate and apply strategies within your department; and serve as a catalyst for success.
