This is what the sales rep who just quit wished their former manager had read. They didn’t leave because of product, comp, or culture. They left because their leader watched them fail — and never did a thing to save them. Instead of coaching strategy, they added noise. Instead of being present, the 1:1 was in and out. Instead of joining the battle, they shouted at the scoreboard. Whether you're a rep aspiring to become a manager, or already in the seat struggling to lead Productivity, here’s the truth: if you’re not a force multiplier, you’re an unnecessary expense. Harsh.
