After you explain the concept of a judicial branch to your CEO, she says, “Great! I’ll have the sales leadership team make that part of their monthly meeting.” How do you respond?

“In the interest of being unbiased, I think it would be better to have the judicial branch made up of people who are outside of the sales and marketing organization.”
“Perfect! We want to make sure the sales team is as involved as possible, and having sales leadership reviewing dropped leads is a great way to start.”
“I think that’s the right group of leaders, but monthly meetings won’t be frequent enough to do the job. Can we have them meet every two weeks instead?”
“The sales leadership shouldn’t be involved. It would be better to have the marketing leadership do this job.”

The correct answer is:

“In the interest of being unbiased, I think it would be better to have the judicial branch made up of people who are outside of the sales and marketing organization.”
