Developing servant leadership characteristics could be the missing element that business owners need in the long term.
Why?
Because most business owners are focused on their own success and aren’t very good at sharing the spotlight with their team. Most sales leaders focus on the numbers, and spend most of their time managing quotas, tracking results, analyzing performance.
This is a huge mistake because if you want your company to grow, everyone needs to be working together in a positive way. If you’re not providing opportunities for your team members to shine then they won’t reach their full potential. You need to shift from the transactional mindset to being more strategic in order to drive sustainable business growth over time.
The first step is understanding what servant leadership characteristics are that will help you achieve this goal. Let’s take a look at few key traits that can help you transform your sales efforts into something truly remarkable!
