Sales leaders always get this wrong - that is, they typically say something like:
"I know everything that this role requires ... do it my way." - Every Sales Leader
A great sales leader has an informed point of view, but a whole hell of a lot of humility and willingness to adjust, massage, pivot, lean in, etc.
Bad sales leaders over quote non-senes sales mantras -- Great sales leaders get on calls listen to reps dealing with tough situations in deals, and ultimately help the business win.
