Jumpstart (WTKR)
The Sales Leadership Planning Sequence That Holds Under Pressure
In this Jumpstart segment on WTKR, Owen Van Syckle shares a four-step sales leadership planning sequence—Preparation, Launch, Accountability, and Navigation—designed to help teams build clarity and momentum when conditions change. He connects business planning to everyday leadership by focusing on practical levers: readiness, alignment, visible scorecards, and adaptive decision-making.
