Published: Sept. 23, 2022, 2 p.m.

There is no one correct leadership style. For Sean, it\u2019s about giving your direct reports the freedom to find their way, while also holding them accountable. In this second of a four-part series, our host Jordan Benjamin continues his conversation with Sean Dazet about his leadership style, and why it\u2019s a lot like parenting: you will need to back off and let them fall sometimes. \n\nHIGHLIGHTS\nImposter syndrome comes from undue perfectionism\nDo things one thing at a time \nPoint people to the right direction but back off a little \nSales leadership is a delicate balancing act \nA leader's loyalty is to the company as a whole\nThe needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few\nBe clear and consistent in communicating your goals \n\nQUOTES\nSean on fixing problems one thing at a time: "This is something I've had to work on myself as a leader, which is not giving my direct reports a thousand things to fix at once. Ultimately, people can't handle that. If I tell you to do 10 things, you're not going to fix them all. If I tell you to do one thing and I tell you to do that one thing for one month straight, you're probably gonna fix it."\n\nSean's biggest struggle in leadership: "The burden of leadership is you have to hold people accountable to what they're obligated to do. Your loyalty as a leader is actually to the company, not to the individuals and that's the hardest thing I probably struggle with, moving into leadership."\n\nYou can connect with Sean in the link below:\nLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sdazet/\n\nIf you\u2019re listening to the Peak Performance Selling Podcast, please subscribe, share, and send us your feedback.\nLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanbenjamin/\nWebsite - http://mycoreos.com/\nPodcast - https://www.mycoreos.com/podcast\nEmail - Jordan@MyCoreOS.com\nTwitter - https://twitter.com/jbenj09
