I THOUGHT this was about GOOD sales directors....people just cant wait to do the ole bash thing on here.
Yeah, Jim O'Connor was a top Oncology rep, the best Oncology Manager (best I ever had for a manager), and now is a fantastic Director of Sales for the West. We want him back on the East!!!! And to top it off, he is a great person!
Without out a doubt the worst is Marty Smith. She has no linkage to Lilly values. Doesn't even do performance management for her sales management team.
Another joke as a director - Luther Little!!!
those who are not "good" is far easier to answer. Frankie Jefferson is by far the least competent. Although, it is often hard to determine if his division's challenges stem from his poor leadership abilities or the poor oversight of his management team. Is it entirely his fault that 4 of his DM's combined may have a cumulative IQ slightly above the developmentally impaired range?
Caroline A. is the the absolute worst out there. Her bullshit is as goofy as it gets. I am just glad I lost her in the reallignment. too bad for the suckers in Kentucky who still have to deal with her, I would just as soon shoot myslef in the head.
Okay, your turn to take her back. We have had more than enough.
I have worked for FJ and LL, I will take Frankie anyday, he has a heart and soul. LL has neither.
