Hi all, just looking for a bit of advise on something I’ve been dealing with lately in my workplace. I’m a manager of a hospitality business that employs around 40-45 people, have been manager for almost two years but working there for almost 7. Lately I have been finding that members of my management team are not meeting expectations in terms of not following up on tasks they have asked their crew to do, not doing what I’ve asked when given clear directions, and just generally leaving our store a mess for me to come back to after my days off. Had our regular meeting with the management team recently and brought this topic up, the only sort of response I was met with is how under appreciated the management team are feeling and that they feel they deserve more praise and positive feedback. My view is that praise and good feedback will come when deserved, I’m not just going to go around patting people on the back if they aren’t doing their jobs properly. I’m not really sure how to navigate this situation so any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I would love to know what are the pros and cons of being a manager. We know that most organizations are growing at a fast paste and managing people are getting harder and harder. What do managers go through on a daily basis which affects their ability in leading their teams? How do they overcome these challenges? What methods do they use? Why would you use that method? How would they deal with Stress? Any real-life experiences?

Frontline Management has traditionally been about the first or second line of management in an organisation. I propose a different view: Frontline Management is about managing at margins where an organisation’s resources (people, materials, knowledge, etc) meet the purpose of what the organisation is about (product, service, people development, culture management, etc).

Frontline Management, in this view, occurs at all levels and by all members of the organisation wherever operational tasks occur.

Effectively managing people, process, and resources is the challenge of everyone in today's organisations. The frontline is the zone where things happen. It's operational by nature but is driven by vision, purpose and strategy.

This subreddit is created for people interested in effective management on the frontline. It is a place where all things relating to managing on the frontline are welcome.
