from Stories from the Frontline · host Todd Roberts

Many managers start the day tired, work long hours, get very little sleep, and repeat the same cycle the next day.But what if your exhaustion is not just a workload problem?For many frontline managers and supervisors, employee turnover becomes their workload.Every resignation creates another uncovered position, another schedule to change, another employee to train, and another day spent filling gaps instead of leading, developing, and engaging the team.The cycle looks like this:Turnover creates more work.More work leaves less time to lead.Less leadership creates a weaker employee experience.A weaker employee experience creates more turnover.In this episode of Stories from the Frontline, Todd Roberts explains why manager exhaustion and employee turnover are often connected—and how frontline leaders can begin breaking the cycle through four practical leadership actions:Know your people.Engage your people.Develop your people.Delegate responsibility.You do not have to accept being tired as the price of leadership.The goal is to build a team that shows up, grows stronger, gets results, and makes your job and life more sustainable.Join The Frontline Leader Community and start free:https://www.skool.com/frontline-leader-community-5779/aboutAdvanced training, coaching, tools, and practical leadership systems are available for less than the cost of one energy drink a day.Books for frontline leaders:How to Be a Great Leaderhttps://a.co/d/0hbWbFqiBuild a Team People Want to Show Up Forhttps://a.co/d/0axIojJyFollow Stories from the Frontline for practical leadership training, new manager tips, employee engagement strategies, employee retention ideas, and real stories from the frontline.
