The Center for Sales Strategy (CSS) announces the recognition of the 2023 Talent Superhero winners -- managers who are recognized for recruiting, selecting, developing, and engaging top performers on their teams and in their markets every day. This annual award acknowledges leaders in sales management roles (or similar - GSM, DOS, VP, Station Director, etc.) who oversee all things talent-related on their teams and in their territories - and were likely nominated by someone on their team.
Winners were selected by a committee that reviews skills and success of each nominee based on building and maintaining a strong talent bank, recruiting top talent to the organization, coaching people to maximize their strengths, engaging their team and retaining top performers over time.
"These awards stand as a genuine testament to the exemplary leadership, strong work ethic, and remarkable skill demonstrated by these individuals and the positive team cultures they cultivate," remarked The Center for Sales Strategy Senior VP of Talent Services Beth Sunshine. "It is a privilege to acknowledge these leaders for their outstanding contributions to their teams and organizations."
