Turning Business Development Managers into Leaders
Our work with professionals has shown us the
connection between the Three Pillars of
Business Development Leadership,
i.e. Being, Knowing and Doing and the
12 Core Competencies of Business
Development.
Whether the
title is Business Development Manager, Sales
Manager or Director of Sales, for this
role the first pillar of leadership
competency is anchored around who the person
is...Being. It
includes the individual’s principles, values
and ethics.
The second
pillar of leadership,
Knowing,
centers on knowledge competency. This
consists of seeking out and applying people,
business, money and technical knowledge, the
most important component being people
knowledge.
The third
pillar of Business Development Leadership,
Doing,
involves the actions of leaders,
incorporating their ability to make
decisions, communicate them, and motivate
others to reach goals and thus improve their
capabilities. Doing comprises the tactical
skills of leadership, the operational
actions: recruiting and
retaining appropriate individuals, establishing
process, motivating individuals to achieve
objectives, and providing coaching,
mentoring and training. The tactical
implementation of leadership in Business
Development requires the capability to lead
people and to manage process.

Education and Professional Development

of BD Leadership to assist each individual

the Business Development Leadership role,
success requires a fusion of who we are as
an individual, along with our principles,
values, ethics and their application.
Leadership is a unique combination of what
we know, how we apply it and what we do in

just managing a group of individuals to
reach objectives.
