Sprout Management Team

You just don't get it. What we have seen in our district is a complete lack of leadership from the top down. The blame lies mostly with Tracy, Ray, and Valeant--yes. Their lack of communication and disregard for all things Sprout hurt this launch and the morale. But where have Paal and Brady been when we received zero communication and things were obviously not turning out as promised for the sales team? Even if they had no answers, it would have been nice to hear from them--you know, to LEAD and MOTIVATE us. You hired a team of managers who had zero management experience and from what I can tell, received zero coaching from anyone after throwing them into the "deep end" when they had no idea how to "swim." No joining of conference calls from higher ups to check in on their leadership. No one was ever even copied on emails from our manager to prove transparency or to see how thy were leading. And believe me, some of the emails we received were nasty and condescending. I barely even knew Brady and Paal existed other than my manager spoke about them as if they were some kind of Messiahs.

This entire experience would not have been as stress filled and awful if our manager would have had an ounce of leadership qualities. You can't motivate a team of highly tenured representatives through condescending and belittling tactics in the name of transparency. You don't make threats when the numbers aren't where you want them. You strategize, communicate, and discuss how we are going to work together to change the situation. You don't openly get annoyed at questions and make people feel stupid for asking. Because your team will then no longer come to you with ANY questions- good or silly ones. And then we were chastised for not "communicating" as much as other districts. Well, many were afraid to say anything or felt there was no point at all because our manager was so stubborn. Most of all, a good manager makes you feel like he or she understands your perspective and your style and adjusts their coaching to fit what you need to become the best YOU in the current environment- volatile or stable.

Just because you have been a stellar rep, does not mean you will be a good manager. Good leaders possess certain qualities--but they also work to hone their skills and become the best leader they can. Because they ultimately understand that when people feel respected and valued, they do everything they can to put their manager in the best light. When they feel disrespected by not only the manager, but also the entire COMPANY, the good ones tune them out and do the bare minimum until they can get their a$$es out of there.

It's a shame, too, because this product could have been great. And there were some great reps selling it. Yes, there were lack of resources. But ultimately what held it back was poor morale from a lack of LEADERSHIP on all fronts and the inability of Valeant and Sprout to work together.

Best of luck to everyone out there. May the reps find a company who respects them and may most of the managers go back to being reps where they obviously kicked butt. It isn't so bad being one of us--unless you get a manager like one of you.

i feel so bad for you. Paal was at best a mediocre rep who had a wealthy family. I would say at slate he was one of the laziest reps we had. If your manager was CP, then i really feel bad for you. Just like the nickname, trashy and sleazy through and through. Bob and Cindy thought they were great purveyors of talent. All they did was make money for themselves by getting out before the shit hit the fan. Look at their relationship. why follow that?
 






I think everybody needs to chill out!! I love CP she's a great person!! This just was a shitshow from the start it wasn't the managers fault! We were all dealt a bad deck of cards! Time to move on!!

I feel sorry for you, to take time to make bs statements to try to bring people down when Valeant is the source of all the sh@t gone bad here and that is the truth.

Valeant isn't the exclusive source, the statements made about Paal, Bob and Cindy are so on target that they have to come from someone who knows each of them very well.

Oh bc you would know super insider. What Valeant has done to us and cherry topped it off with yesterday's lack of human decency shows this is all Valeant. These managers, mine especially are angered and in absolute disgust with how all of us have been treated. Please tell us what you could have done differently in their situation since you have so much behind the scene wisdom. Unless this is Ray or Tracy who are on here typing this crap, which with the way they have treated us it wouldn't surprise me and it to date them typing on here would be the most they have ever done in their roles since they took over. In which case if this is Tracy or Ray feel free to kiss my a@! crack after I am done taking a large wet sh@t.

Answer this, what happened to Anthony Caggiano? Anthony was the best leadership Ashfield could ever have, he was your true champion. He was screwed by Paal, Brady, Bob and Cindy. Had he been allowed to do his job you would have been better off for it. Ray and Tracy were handed a half-ass launch. If I'm not mistaken you are one of Bob or Cindy's mindless drones, you know nothing about how poorly this was managed by Sprout.

Wish I was a Cindy and Bob drone at least I would have got paid, but I also would have told them how pathetic Ashfield is from the ridiculous webcam interviews to you not getting our expense reports approved in a timely manner. Don't even get me started on Ashfield, Deb was a running joke on our team and from what I heard from the rest of the people I know so were the others.
