In this Quick Take episode, we're drawing a hard line between two approaches that can look similar in the moment but produce very different results over time: coaching and micromanagement.

Matt breaks down how managers can develop new salespeople without creating dependence, including:

• Why micromanagement feels productive and why that feeling is exactly what makes it so dangerous to long-term performance
• The difference between what coaching sounds like and what micromanaging sounds like, and why that distinction changes everything
• How to use a guided reps model that gradually shifts from structure to independence as confidence and competence grow
• And, finally, why the manager's real job isn't to produce deals; it's to produce salespeople who can produce deals on their own
