In the episode Mike confronts sales leaders with this very straightforward question:
Are you the hero of your sales team or are you the hero-maker?
While the question is simple, its answer has enormous implications.
This topic is one of the most prevalent sales leadership issues today – one that not only damages culture, diminishes results, and derails careers, but it’s also a reason so many sales leaders are maxed out and exhausted.
Prepare to be challenged as Mike doesn’t pull punches walking listeners through this four-part outline:
- WHY: the common reasons sales leaders tend to play the hero
- HOW/WHERE/WHEN hero-mode manifests itself
- WHAT: the awful consequences that result when leaders default to playing hero instead of making heroes
- HELP: simple fixes to help us refocus on leading and coaching instead of “doing”
