Managing Director Insights

Recently I spoke with a high-level salesperson recently who is looking for a new position.

3/10/2025

He’s doing well, making money, but is looking to make a move.

I asked, why he was leaving.

“I just don’t like my manager”.

But you are doing well, maybe just fight through.

I asked him, when has he been the happiest in his career.

“When I had a great manager”.


We hear this all the time.

So, what makes a great manager? It’s kind of important.


What’s important here in SE-MI, is that it’s warming up. Ski hills are closing, and golf courses are opening. Glorious.

39-61 degrees, sunshine.

Make it a great day, everyone!
