After working with over 3,000 leaders and putting in 2.5 years of work, Massimo Backus has published his first book, "Human First, Leader Second: How Self-compassion Outperforms Self-criticism." Massimo noticed one consistent challenge many leaders face regardless of their industry, background, or expertise: a commonly held limiting belief, "I am not enough”. Through his work and personal growth, Massimo uncovered the opportunity to shed light on the pivotal role that self-compassion plays in leadership and how it’s exponentially more effective than self-criticism and judgment. Human First, Leader Second introduces 6 strategies to ease you into personal accountability, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. If you’ve been feeling closed off, on the verge of burnout, or trapped in the myth of perfectionism - this is the book for you. It’s full of exercises you can do yourself or lead team members through. The exercises and activities are my favourite part and will keep you coming back. I’m proud to have supported Massimo in the development of his first book during the writing and editing stages. Congratulations Massimo! 🎉
