Sales Community Of Practice – The Sales Leadership Blindspot: How Traditional Leadership Development Is Failing Sales Leaders 

July 18, 2025 by Trew Landis

Aug 14, 2025

9:00 AM – 10:30 AM – In-Person @ ModernWell: 2909 S. Wayzata Blvd. Minneapolis, MN 55405

This event is limited to 28 participants

Are your sales leaders underperforming despite your investment in leadership development? The problem might not be your leaders. The actual culprit is the blindspot embedded in generic training approaches. Sales leaders are wired differently, driven by unique motivations, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. Promoting top performers without a tailored development pathway often creates “super sellers” who can’t effectively lead, coach, or build a team.

This workshop will reveal the specific components of a proven sales leadership development program, showing you what “good” looks like when building leaders who make an immediate, measurable impact on revenue, recruiting, and retention.

Key Takeaways:

  • Examine the key differences between sales leadership and generalized leadership development and how confusing them impacts stunted sales growth.
  • Discover the seven non-negotiable elements of an effective sales leadership program, from talent assessment and strength-based development to integrated metrics and corporate sponsorship.
  • Walk away with five concrete actions you can implement right now to refine your sales leader development process.
