Self Analysis of 12 Crucial Leadership Characteristics (pdf)
DownloadAs an accountant and business coach, I believe in the system. Coaching with the RIGHT coach is an investment, and Maikel is the right coach for me. Maikel has helped me identify areas of weakness and pushed me beyond my comfort zone so that I can achieve what I want for myself and my business.
He holds me accountable to my actions and helps me reflect on my journey not only with my business but with my life. He has helped me identify what it is I exactly want rather than what I think I should be, and because of this, my ROI is priceless. I will be around for a long time and not fade away like so many businesses that can't target what their true goals, missions, or values are. b that you love? My career coaching services can help you identify your strengths and passions and find a fulfilling career path.
Many believe they have, but in reality, they have not.
Think about this: if you haven't taken the time to develop the skills, experience, and strength of character to lead others confidently, why do you believe you would succeed?
It is easy to say, "So what to serious leadership preparation, training, and coaching!" (And many don't get this until years later.) But you should know…The Cost of Poor Leadership Preparation is very costly.
Poor Leadership Performance Costs You
But Poor Leadership Also Costs Your Team
The coaching also gave me tools to use to help me breakthrough when I was 'stuck'. I gained value every session, even when I didn't 'want' to do the work. The personality profiling stands out because it allowed me to see myself in a totally new way.
I specifically loooved the personality profile. I have read and understand so many of the traditional ways personalities are described, but your profile was a cut above the rest. It was a major ah-ha for me and once I saw it, I found the conflicts in me, in everything I was doing. It explained so much to me about me. Thanks!
Maikel is able to hold one accountable without judgment. He has the ability to help one see what is on the 'tip of your nose'. Maikel is able to work through and help you see what might be blocking you from achieving your desired outcomes, giving clarity and focus. if you are struggling and looking for a great coach who will help you see yourself differently, work through what is stopping you from reaching your goals. I'd certainly give Maikel high recommendation.
Many want to hold leadership positions. Few are ready and willing to pay the price.
Is it your time to become a leader? Many want to hold leadership positions. Few are ready and willing to pay the price.
There's a price? And everyone who wants to become a great leader must pay for it.
You see, being outstanding at your present job does not mean you will quickly morph into an exceptional leader if promoted. Many make this fatal assumption. Then, when they fall short, they wonder what happened.
Shocking fact: 50% of people hired or promoted into leadership positions fail within three years, meaning they were fired.
Why were they fired?
Because they lacked the clarity, confidence, and character to lead with courage and boldness, they lacked the understanding, skills, and agility to lead their teams with authenticity, connection, and personal example.
Result: They were exposed as imposters, hiding their incompetencies and failing because they could never "make it happen."
This does not have to be you.
Connecting with Maikel has been a life-changer for me. His insight, his professionalism, and his integrity are outstanding. We have spent the last nine months together as he guided me through the maze of projects and goals I have set for myself. Without Maikel's insight and leadership, I would not have the ability to prioritize my goals, set in place a system for a future focus, and eliminate the distractions that I was unaware of that were showing up. One of the most caring men I have met. Everything he did was top-notch.
Thank you, Maikel. Choose Maikel. He is the best!
I asked you earlier if you have taken the time to develop your leadership skills. If you have, how do you know you have?
Many aspire to become great leaders. They want to strengthen their leadership abilities and character. They aspire to be more. But does "wanting" and "aspiring" are those enough to make you into a great leader? Perhaps a more appropriate word is "wish." Are you "wishing" to become a great leader but not really doing much about it?
Here's an even better question.
Do you have a burning desire to be a leader who successfully takes on complex challenges and makes a real difference in the lives of others?
If your answer is yes, let me ask you 12 vital questions about your leadership development.
Do you want the skills and confidence to
If you answered yes to seven or more of these questions, it indicates you have a strong desire to become a great leader.
There has never been a better time for you to take the necessary action to become that great leader within you. You can wish it would just happen, but nothing will until you make the first move and do something. You must act now. If not now, when? And the truth is, it's time. It's your time and your move.

After I began with Maikel Bailey, I found a new beginning. As humans, I think we all believe that we can simply fix problems, but once that is done, things will change. Reasonable people understand that simply putting a bandage on issues will only prolong the pain. I wanted to do more and treat the symptoms of my problems. I wanted to begin new, benchmark where I was, and move in the direction I wanted.
Maikel being on the end of that telephone every Monday evening was the tool I needed to start putting my best foot forward. Coaching delivers a unique dynamic to how we, as people, learn. It allows us to grow outside of the mind and to have another individual take the journey required, even if it is for a short time. It is a place where accountability, camaraderie, and progress are cultivated. This coaching experience not only helped me to realize what it was I really valued in life and what I believe the end results will be, but it also made sense of the road map I wanted to create for myself and live.
As a result, I've been mentoring others at work and at home. My quality of life is growing daily, and because of that, my relationships and the peers involved are benefiting as well. I recommend this approach to anyone.
Leaders, Know Thyself First
Leaders are not born. Great leaders don't come out of nowhere. Great leaders know who they are because they paid the price. They are formed, shaped, and tried through dedication, hard work, experience, and integrity. They understand what motivates them. They understand their innate talents and continually sharpen them. They know the importance of character and trust and earn it each day.
Master Your Fears, Unleash Your Potential
They know their fears, what holds them back, and how to move past these limiting beliefs and behaviors. Fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs are the derailers that keep us from high expectations and brilliant leadership and team performance.
It is not enough to know our fears hold us back. We must have the tools and skills to confidently move past these emotions to lead our teams and achieve.
Unstoppable performance is possible and achievable. We must have the knowledge, desire, and discipline that only extraordinary leaders know and have to get and stay there.
If this is what you want, we will get you there.
Unlock Your Unique Leadership Formulas
There are no cookie-cutter approaches to developing great leaders. As every individual is unique, and so is every leader. What that means is there is a unique formula within you to actualize your leadership potential. Learning to deal with your fears and doubts unleashes that potential. Still, that potential must be developed.
Look at it this way. You can have all the ingredients in front of you for the perfect blend of rocket fuel, but it will not turn out if you don't put them together in the correct order. It could blow up on you.
Building Great Teams Starts with You
Great leaders know how to listen to those they lead. They learn to love them and believe in them. With that combination of traits, leading, listening, and loving, they build smart, sharp, and successful teams. These teams exceed expectations because they feel they are valued and matter. They are not just cogs in a machine. They have a purpose.
When you learn to listen to your team members, you will know how to serve them to bring out the best. That's how they know you believe in them. You invest in them, and so they believe in you.
Result: Everyone Succeeds.
Your Example Must Propel Your Team Through Good Times and Tough
Together, team and leader performance creates the unstoppable dynamic of performance and success when finely tuned by knowledge, skills, and trust.
That success is fueled by trust, discipline, and skill. Another way to say it, it is the culture of high connectivity and performance. A team that is loyal to each other, knows that they something special about this team, each person belongs here, and everyone is expected to raise their contribution to the highest quality that is expected by all.
Build a Great Legacy of Leadership and Service
