Who were speakers on the panel?

Questions discussed by the panel:

  • When we met as a sales leadership community board, this topic of “leading a sales team in and through uncertain times” was a priority topic for our panel discussions in 2021. How have you addressed the uncertainties experienced over the past year with your sales teams?
  • Obviously, last year was unique in and of itself, what are other examples of uncertain times where you have had to lead teams?
  • When dealing with times of uncertainty, what are the top three things required for a leader to be successful?
  • With the rate of change accelerating in the world around us and with our customers, the need to lead through uncertainty will be a continuing requirement. Thinking back a few years, what advice would you give your “younger self” to develop the capabilities required for leading in times of uncertainty?
