People carefully observe their leaders. Some scrutinize their performance looking for justifications not to trust them, but on the whole, people want to impart their loyalty and respect. However, this can be made difficult when some people are just not natural leaders nor have the emotional intelligence to see how their insensitivity affects others.
Gaining respect, trust, and loyalty from your colleagues will ultimately mean you are doing a great job at leading. If you focus on earning respect daily and being mindful of how you are leading others, you'll become more engaged and show that you are worthy of your title and the respect from your sales team.
