LO1 Understand leadership in salesOverview“The art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.” (Dwight D. Eisenhower)Leadership is the ability to influence the attitudes and behaviours of others to work towards a specific goal. Leaders set the direction, help people visualise what may be achieved, inspire and encourage people to work towards getting there.A leader will have a clear vision of what he is trying to achieve for the organisation and be able to communicate that vision in a way that is meaningful for the organisation’s stakeholders.Being a leader means:having a clear vision of what you wish to achievebeing committed to the visiontaking responsibility and risk for success or failure.Leadership is normally associated with authority within an organisation, for example, one would expect the CEO of an organisation to adopt the role of leader. Whilst this is true, leadership qualities are required by managers at any level within the organisation who are responsible for managing staff and teams. The Sales Manager is no exception to this rule and leadership skills are required to influence, inspire and motivate the sales team.Leaders and Managers of sales teams will need to:initiate and guide the actions of the salesforce towards the organisational goals and ensure that individuals work for the benefit of the team and the organisation and not just for individual gainmotivate and create confidence within the sales team, ensuring morale remainshighprovide guidance and support to the sales team to ensure they are working effectively towards their goals and targets.Organisations and teams that rely on management alone generally underperform and struggle to build or sustain competitive advantage, consequently successful organisations require a combination of both good leadership and management.Sales Managers must develop their leadership qualities, as well as their management skills, because it is the combination of leadership and management which ensures thatmembers of the sales team are working towards achieving the goals of the organisation, whist maximising the efficient use of resources.

Leaders must take a long term view and provide strategic direction and context. They must outline their vision, long term goals and objectives. Leaders are transformational and inspire people to follow them and work towards a common goal by building trust and confidence of their teams.Managers have the responsibility for ensuring objectives are reached and ‘things get done’. They set operational direction, goals and facilitate the organisation of resourcesin order to optimise those resources, including the performance of staff.AC1.2 Evaluate leadership styles and their impact on the sales team and individualsIndividuals lead in different ways, each of us has a natural tendency towards a style of leadership and we often adapt our style according to the teams we are working with, their expertise and the organisational culture.The leadership styles defined below should be treated as a range of styles against which we can place ourselves and our natural style:
