Good Managers are born.
Born to lead is an inherent quality which is in the genes to begin with.
Salespeople are born.
You can enhance their skills and hone their technique but if they were not born with the skill and desire you will never make someone into a good manager or salesman if they do not have it in them.
Both of these disciplines are intertwined because a good manager has to sell his idea to his staff to get them to perform. A salesman has to sell his idea to his customer to buy.
Does this mean that the best salesman will make the best manager- No is the short answer.
The manager must have those extra leadership qualities and skills and not all salesmen have them.
But great managers have the salesman's skills as well as leadership skills.
Can one make a manager sure but great managers are definately born!
