• Who are line managers?

• Line managers have responsibility for directly managing individual employees or


teams. In turn, they report to a higher level of management on the performance
and well-being of the employees or teams they manage.
• The term ‘front-line manager’ or ‘first-line manager’ normally refers to those who
supervise and manage employees who themselves have no supervisory
responsibilities. Front-line managers are often promoted from operational roles
and might not have any formal management education at the time of their
appointment.
• Typically the management responsibilities carried out by line managers
(particularly front-line managers) might include:
• day-to-day people management
• managing operational costs
• providing technical expertise
• allocating work and rotas
• monitoring work and checking quality
• dealing with customers/clients
• measuring operational performance
• developing their people.
• Definition:
• A line manager is a person who directly
manages other employees and operations of a
business while reporting to a higher ranking
manager. The line manager term is often used
interchangeably with "direct manager."
• Line and staff management has two separate
hierarchies: (1) the line hierarchy in which the
departments are revenue generators
(manufacturing, selling), and their managers are
responsible for achieving the organization's main
objectives by executing the key functions (such as
policy making, target setting, decision making);
• (2) the staff hierarchy, in which the departments are
revenue consumers, and their managers are
responsible for activities that support line functions
(such as accounting, maintenance, personnel
management).
