Why Most Managers Fail at Coaching (And How to Fix It) | Keith Rosen | Global Sales Leader Podcas

What separates a manager who gets results from one who truly transforms people? In this episode of the Global Sales Leader Podcast, host Jason Cooper sits down for a third time with Keith Rosen — globally recognised sales leadership authority, pioneer of coaching culture, and author of the bestselling Coaching Salespeople into Sales Champions — to unpack his brand-new book Crucial Coaching Conversations. Keith and Jason go deep on the real reasons managers struggle to coach their teams, why urgency is silently destroying leadership, and how the rise of AI is widening the gap between good and great salespeople. This is a masterclass in the language of leadership.
