The frontline is where the work happens. When you get the work done correctly and on time (if not faster), your organization is successful. If there are too many layers of leadership and you are waiting for directions from the top, you may miss opportunities. Eric Strafel joins Kevin to discuss the importance of empowering your frontline team to make decisions. If they understand the why, and if they know where the organization is going, they will make the best decisions for your organization.
