Area directors and regional managers were mostly promoted to their positions because they were in areas with the most abuse and therefore sales and these people were promoted over and over and ended up in these top positions for that’s reason. My regional was a moron who sold for about a year or 2 in his entire career and then got promoted over and over! It was all about sales for him and he treated you as good as your numbers and if your sales were just ok, he didn’t give u the time of day! Read every sales management book and spewed this stuff continuously but was clueless! Knew exactly what was going on with abuse and when wholesalers were limiting product he instituted PIP plans knowing full well that not making goal was completely out of rep control but acted like it was all about closing or probing effectively! Moron!!

Last sentence of your post sounds like you are talking about Brian Jennings from the SouthEast Region (he is now at Insys BTW)....

T.M was the worst. Unless you were a top performing rep he would criticize everything you did. Never gave any positive feedback and worked like it was still the year 2000. Use old school selling skills in a new market. Absolutely worthless

Couldn't agree with you more. T.M.kissed ass to save his job for years until old leadership came back. how hard is it to reinforce key performance indicators? no leadership skills. recites things from outdated management books

This has to be Bruce Taggart!
 












I would agree! Bruce Taggart was pathetic. Always spouting from a new management book but had no clue and put people on PIPs when the DEA was limiting supply to wholesalers and retail pharmacies couldn’t get OxyContin! Should be locked up for the the way they did things!

Don't forget his motivating meetings playing AC/DC full blast and lining up his minions “first to worst”. Who wants to move up the line?

I worked with him at PP in leadership role and he was intimated by women colleagues. He would pick a male over female for DM job even tho female was better qualified and well liked. It happened to someone I know. That was issue at PP, you were black balled if someone didn’t like you or you stood up to uppe management.
