It is rare that you come across a Manager like Sean. I have learnt a lot of what I know about sales from him as his history in the industry is impeccable. Sean is a great leader and always has the best interest to his team, he makes every individual feel that they in the front line of the team with him. Sean always encouraged me and other team members to strive in any situation we were in from a business or personal level. I find Sean is definitely a

I have found working on Sean’s team thoroughly enjoyable and positively challenging. I feel that as my leader, Sean has recognized the value of individuals with different talents and skills, has helped us develop passion for our work which in turn has led to the development of a talented UKI team whom can execute on strategy and further more develop our career paths within Dell. As a leader of the UKI Internal team, he has delegated authority and encouraged independence which in turn has encouraged both team mates past and present to improve our IT & sales knowledge, abilities and skills. I have found that he is very supportive of his team and co-workers attempts at improvement. Evidence is clear in that I will be sadly departing the team to begin a new role with Dell UK in November and previous to this my team mate Martin Muldoon moved across DSG in to an Inside Sales position for the Windows Management team. Sean maintains detailed performance documentation which is regularly reviewed with the entire team (external and internal). This is hugely beneficial as the team strategy is articulated in plain language and everyone understands their role and what needs to be done to achieve success. It is easy to turn up for work on a daily basis when you have a leader who displays initiative and enthusiasm and provides a positive example as he "walks the talk"
