The literature is very clear: when we are present, pausing to engage others, and taking time to observe our own behaviors in real-time, we show up with more persuasiveness, authenticity, and impact. This allows us the confidence to invite others into the conversation, which is essential in an ever-evolving world. We have all been put on notice; if we are not growing in our own self-awareness, we are vulnerable to a fall.
I view the film Glengarry Glen Ross as a cautionary tale about fear, intimidation, and demotivation from a tyrannical business leader. Creating an atmosphere of Darwinian competition, especially within your own team, is a relic of the past. Unhealthy competition creates poor service providers, and pushy sales teams create unfit, untrustworthy partnerships. The very best sales leaders know that real relationships are not transactional, they are human, experiential, and vulnerable.
