Listen "Tough Love"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive deep into the realm of "tough love" in business. Scott's opening anecdote details two related but different sales experiences where the other party said they "needed to be convinced." And, only one was worth talking with further.
As we pivot the main topic of this episode, the discussion gets into what we mean by "tough love" and putting that in context of managing underperforming sales teams. It seems our hosts don't actually agree on the best approach in this case. Listen in as we round out the discussion with a frank debate on potential cultural differences in management styles and the balance between empathy and assertiveness in leadership.
