QUOTES
The leadership component is the hard component -Shawn: "Leadership, the way I define it, is helping people get somewhere they can never get on their own. Not taking them there, not dragging them there, but helping them so it's a partnership. So it requires a lot of soft skills and involves a lot of nuances that you don't need as a manager."
Why add to company values to bring teams together - Shawn: "And I'm not talking about the company vision, obviously, your's has to plug up to that, but that's not enough for salespeople. It needs to be more around the values of the company don't really resonate with a sales team with 7 people that are remote all over the country."
Shawn's Live Better advice: "You have to have a relationship with something greater than yourself. I think it's easy in sales because usually, we have big egos, right? Even when we try to act like we have some humility, inside we still think we're pretty killer."
