    When it comes to sales leadership, and driving exceptional performance, many talk about the importance of being authentic as a core pillar of great leadership, and yet, unfortunately, the practice doesn’t always match the theory. Some leaders talk a good game, but when the pressure is applied, they often find it difficult to maintain their authenticity. It is easy to be authentic when business conditions are great; where authenticity is tested is when business conditions change. I often talk about the fact that the team is and always will be a reflection of its leader, and today’s guest epitomises this principle. In today’s episode, I have the privilege of having a conversation with a truly authentic sales leader, Francois Cleret (or Frenchy as he is known as), the Sales & Marketing Director at AMES Australasia, a very successful & fast growing organisation. It is a great conversation where Frenchy delivers value bomb after value bomb around authentic leadership. I trust you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
