"As a sales manager, I lead with confidence and authority measured by accessibility, empathy, and instruction. It is my responsibility to fully understand the intricacies of each team member's role and to view it within the context of the greater team. This strategy helps guide my decision-making in every area. I want team members to feel respected as individuals so that we function cohesively and meet our targets. Every member of my current team knows they can come to me with questions, ideas, and concerns, and they will be listened to and taken into consideration as we plan sales strategies. In addition, I feel it is extremely important to educate myself on current sales trends and share professional development resources with the team. When team members trust that I am arming them with the best possible resources I can provide as a leader, they will operate as a stronger team."
