Frontline Leader
Frontline Leaders Manage 80% of the Workforce
So make no mistake: The quality of frontline leadership can make or break your company.
Unfortunately, most frontline leaders are unprepared for the job. Leadership is tough, and few people have a natural skill for getting work done through others.
The good news? DDI can help. We've worked with the world's top companies to transform their managers, and we have millions of better leaders to show for it. We're ready to work by your side to do the same for your company.

Get Data with an Immersive Experience
Do your managers really know how well they're doing as leaders? With DDI's immersive Manager Ready experience, managers dive into a day on the job of a frontline manager. The realistic simulation puts them through the common challenges they may face on the job. For example, they may have to prioritize work, coach others, and drive for results.

Start at the Core
Let’s face it: Leadership is tough. And it’s a journey for leaders to fully develop all the leadership skills they need. But the most important thing is to just get started.
At DDI, we developed our Core 480 program to help our clients get a foundational leadership program in place as quickly as possible. Focused on communication and coaching skills, the Core 480 program helps leaders build skills for the interactions they have with others in their 480 minutes every day.

Create a learning journey to maximize the time and effectiveness of your frontline leaders. Learning journeys offer the right blend of personalized learning with group connection. For example, leaders can take assessments, pursue online learning, and coaching to boost their knowledge and insight. But they cement learning when they come together in virtual or in-person classroom session.
DDI offers proven learning journeys you can implement right away. Or we can work with you to create a completely custom learning journey.
