Don't Be A Dunderblitzen - a Sales Leadership Parable from 1909
Show Notes

It's the story for so many - great at selling, promoted into leadership without training or a holistic understanding of what the role actually is. 

In today's episode, I share a parable written by Worthington C. Holman in 1909 about a medieval military leader named Dunderblitzen Von Shoosh. I loved this story so much, I had to share it...along with lessons for today.
