- APA-style formatting, including properly documented citations.
Your draft must be 750 to 2,000 words in length, excluding the title and references pages. Remember to proofread your work for errors in grammar, mechanics, style, and formatting. Submit as much work as possible, whether it is a full or partial draft. Please refer to Research Paper Guidelines as well as Week 5 Final Research Paper instructions.
The purpose of the Final Research Paper Draft is to ensure you are making satisfactory progress on your Final Research Paper while providing you with an opportunity to receive direction and feedback from your instructor. If you find that you are struggling to complete the draft, make sure that you have read and reviewed this week’s required activities. Additionally, consider contacting your instructor for additional one-on-one guidance.

Answer preview
Frontline leadership is comprised of the first or second level supervisors. They are the ones in charge and have direct responsibility for operations. Their responsibility also trickles into supervision of the clerical staff and other lower level employees. It is in this light that they can be referred to as the steering wheel of the system (Einstein & Humphreys, 2001). They serve to translate instructions vertically hence connecting the two levels. Frontline leadership in any company is an important source of competitive advantage which makes it essential for companies to build the right abilities in their frontline leaders. (870words)
