Abstract
Purpose – The paper seeks to create an awareness that by adopting the designation of frontline manager the position should now be demonstrating a more significant contribution from merely supervising work to a wider concern for organisational effectiveness and productivity. Design/methodology/approach – The paper considers ways by which benefit and gains might be achieved by greater voluntary input from the workforce, thereby achieving better cost‐cutting results. Findings – The main finding is the realisation of the latent value of natural teams if their involvement is encouraged and recognised. Originality/value – The latent value of natural teams exists and can be encouraged.
