The 21st century sales leader

"My DOS is the best. She yells, shouts, and kick ass and gets things done" CD proudly announced.

Managing people has perhaps never been a more daunting task in the midst of a modern scheme filled with endless possibilities and opportunities.

As a conductor in the orchestra is dependent on the musicians, so too the sales leader in the twenty-first century is largely dependent on his/her team members. I noticed the most effective sales leaders are those who find ways to advance the organisation, while at the same time helping the team members to advance personally and professionally. 

If a leader attempts to advance the organisation to the detriment of the team members' purpose, it will hurt both associate and company.
