**Who This Book Is For:**
Sales managers who are tired of chasing numbers without developing people. Executives who want to build a self-sustaining sales culture. Anyone who leads salespeople and suspects that telling, pushing, and problem-solving for their team is not actually working. If you have ever wondered why your best efforts to motivate your team produce mediocre results, this book will show you what you have been missing.
The sales manager's job has quietly become impossible. You are expected to hit revenue targets that seem to grow every quarter. You are responsible for forecasting accuracy, pipeline health, hiring decisions, and reporting to leadership. You attend meetings about meetings. You answer emails at night.

Coaching helps people discover how to do it themselves. Most sales organizations have plenty of training and almost no coaching. This book is about closing that gap. Rosen's central argument is direct: management, as traditionally practiced, is dead. The command-and-control approach that worked in manufacturing and industrial economies does…
