Stuck in weekly “postmortems” that explain what went wrong but don’t change what happens next? In this episode, Britt shows how to move from reactive leadership to proactive coaching by leading with signals*, not just outcomes. We unpack why teams slip into a “weekly postmortem” loop and how to break it.
👉🏼 The trap: spending more time “explaining performance than actually influencing” it.
👉🏼 Outcomes vs. behaviors: outcomes tell “how the story ends”; leaders need a “play by play.”
👉🏼 Why signals create direction: build conversations “around signals,” so reps know where to focus now.
👉🏼 A simple shift for your next 1:1: instead of “what happened?” ask “what’s happening?”
Takeaway
If your meetings start with results, you’re leading from the past; switch to early indicators you can still shape.
*SalesScreen can automate these signals with built‑in AI, but the mindset works with any stack.
