Course Overview

Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in consultative sales team leadership is earned separately. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on team leadership far more accurately than what their leaders announce. Participants apply this strand of organisational leadership to their own management team throughout, so the output is directly usable. Mature organisations treat consultative sales team leadership as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Participants leave with a method for the organisational leadership capability, not a set of opinions about it. Moving team leadership from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants finish able to explain consultative sales team leadership to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The content is relevant to those who own team leadership and to those who are held accountable for its results. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of organisational leadership that each participant writes for their own organisation.
