Realigning Incentives to Respect Frontline Leaders
No, incentives are not aligned for frontline leaders to get the respect and recognition they deserve.
Organizations often prioritize top-level executives or short-term gains above investing in those who drive day-to-day operations.
Frontline leaders manage people and processes directly but often lack the time.
Ample resources.
Or celebration.
They invest their time and energy in putting out fires instead of leading excellently.
Until time, attention, and respect are woven into their compensation and growth plans, mediocrity will reign.
“Recognizing the work on the front lines is where real leadership begins.” — Mike Brewer
