What Makes A Good Leader with Johnny Occean, Part 4

Good leadership can make or break your tenure in a lot of fields, but this is especially true in sales, where a considerable number of people don’t have any formal sales background prior to entering the job. A good leader can either set you up for success or leave a bad impression of the industry. So how do you know a good leader when you see one?

In this episode of the Peak Performance Selling podcast, Johnny Occean of meQuilibrium talks about his experiences with good leaders, and why it’s important to show as humans first, professionals second.

QUOTES

What good leadership looks like, says Johnny: "They're confident. They believe in the organization. They believe in the shared goal that you both have. Your success is their success. When they're tied to your success and genuinely believe in the end goal, I think that's when you're gonna see the best manager." 

Why you should strive to be at your best as much as you can, says Johnny: "If you're 50%, then the best you can give someone else is 50%. That's not gonna serve anybody. I think of the NBA, for example. The center for the Lakers, Davis, he had a groin energy when they put him out there, I think in like game six. And he got hurt. He wasn't a hundred percent. He gave a hundred percent of 25%. And that got him nowhere, it didn't help the team."
