Get the most from your managers Team leaders and new or aspiring managers, responsible for staff on the frontline, are the lifeblood of any successful organisation. By efficiently managing those who deal with customers, produce goods and services and process the money that keep a business going, they hold the key to organisational performance. Do their job well, and managers at this level can bolster morale, increase efficiency and make a significant impact on the bottom line. But where managers lack the core skills and knowledge to really make a difference, they can all too often have the opposite effect. 01
