ENExample situation: High-Performing Sales Director
Take a situation that keeps recurring in sales.
Business situation
A sales director consistently exceeds revenue targets and owns several important customer relationships, but employee turnover in the team is rising. Exit interviews describe intimidation, information hoarding, and aggressive internal behavior. Replacing the director could disrupt revenue; tolerating the behavior could damage culture, retention, and succession.
The decision
Should leadership retain, coach, restructure around, or replace the sales director?
What to question
Does the revenue really depend on this specific director, or would it hold up under different leadership? What is the turnover already costing in training and lost knowledge? Is there a way to change the behavior before moving to a replacement?
