How would you describe the people who typically thrive in your role?
I think maybe there's a stigma that somebody who's a VP of sales, a sales lead, or a CRO is this alpha male, machismo kind of dude. But at the end of the day, I think it's just about whatever style works for you.
I wouldn't think of or describe myself that way. For some people that works; for some people it doesn't. I think it's just about being true to what you are and not trying to wear a different mask.
Because at the end of the day, you're going to regress and default back to your true nature. So if your nature works, then just roll with it.
