About this Episode:
In this episode of The Transformative Leader Podcast, I’m happy to bring you a conversation with Michelle Reines about the 12 leadership lessons she learned after a cataclysmic leadership failure, as well as the perils of unconscious leadership. That leadership failure took the form of wake-up call in which her entire team walked out on her many years ago. As a result, Michelle realized that her singular focus on results had caused her to start neglecting the needs of her team members as individuals and as people.
The lessons shared in this episode were learned through the school of hard knocks—which is also where I and many other leaders learned everything we know—and they are very practical and immediately actionable. We discuss how you can take care of your people and deliver extraordinary results, and how these are in fact two sides of the same coin when it comes to Transformative Leadership.

Michelle is a speaker, author, coach, entrepreneur, and an ever-evolving Badass Leader. The people-part can be the most challenging for many leaders. It certainly was for her. Her wake-up call came in the form of a cataclysmic leadership failure. She very quickly learned to appreciate the profound impact an unconscious leader has on people, teams, and organizational health and performance. The significance and value of a team became abundantly clear, as did the critical importance and necessity for her to immediately begin evolving as a leader. This painfully humbling experience set the course correction for what would become a lifelong hunger for leadership growth and contribution—a self-prescribed reparation in many ways, shared through her 12 Leadership Lessons. Michelle looks forward to sharing her thrills of victory and agonies of defeat, with a goal of supporting others in unlocking the art of leading like a Badass!
