Today Sales Managers usually have two roles. First, they have to manage and administer the sales team. Second, they are also expected to demonstrate Leadership of the sales team. These are two different roles. Most Sales Managers are trained in the management and administration skills, but few are taught Leadership. They are simply expected to Lead - a very poor and risky strategy.I want to discuss General Leadership development first.Leadership - Setting Visions/Goals and then empowering and motivating others to accomplish those Visions/Goals.Some people demonstrate Leadership skills naturally. We saw them as we were growing up. They were the student council leaders, athletic team captains, club presidents, etc. Most managers will need training in Leadership and that takes a commitment from the corporation because it will take time and dedication.

There are many good reasons for that and I'm going to spell them out as clear as I can.- In some countries around the world it is legal to pay for lottery winning in one lump sum. Experience shows many of these people lose most or all of their money in a few years time, due to the following reasons:- Ordinary people who get into their possession a very large sum of money don't really know how to manage their treasure or how to invest it wisely, they are not prepared for it and they are overwhelmed with a delusion of over abundance of wealth,...more
