Have You Prepared Yourself for Leadership Positions?
Many Believe They Have, But...
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
- Loss of Self-Worth.
- Lowers your Self-Esteem.
- Lowers your Self-Confidence.
- Slackens your Self-Determination.
- Loss of clarity in what you will do and how to do it.
- And Much More.
But Poor Leadership Also Costs Your Team
- Low morale.
- Low motivation.
- Inefficiency.
- Accepting less than the best in performance and results.
- High turnover.
- Losing top talent.
- High overtime costs.
- And Much More.

PUT THE "LEAD" BACK INTO YOUR LEADERSHIP
Is It Time to Become a Great Leader in Your Own Right?
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.
Everything he did was top-notch
Daniel Clark - Owner at Daniel C Clark Coaching
Daniel Clark, Owner at Daniel C. Clark Coaching
Connecting with Maikel has been a life changer for me. His insight, his professionalism, and his integrity are outstanding. We have spent the last 9 months together as he guided me through the maze of projects and goals I have set for myself. Without Maikels insight and leadership, I would not have able to prioritize my goals, set into 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!
Is Being a Leader In You?
Do You Have a Burning Desire to Lead?
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
- Create visions of great success produced by inspired, unstoppable teams?
- Take charge of your team and inspire them to drive their best efforts to win big every day?
- Analyze any situation objectively, without bias or prejudice, deal with facts, the people, and all the dynamics involved, and know the best course of ac for everyone?
- Make the right decisions for the right reasons, at the right time, for the best results?
- Create relationships of trust and loyalty with your team, peers, and leadership?
- Strengthen and refine your performance skills, so they set the standard and be an authentic example to your team members?
- To effectively communicate, inspire, and build others to become their best in their roles?
- Speak truth to power as necessary?
- Work, problem-solve, plan, collaborate, and synergize with others to accomplish vital organizational and team objectives?
- Solve perplexing problems by developing winning strategies that consistently achieve your goals?
- Develop team members and teams with solid commitment and the highest performance?
- Help emerging leaders to become great leaders in their own right?
If you answered yes to three of these questions, it indicates you have a strong desire to become a great leader. But if you answered a strong yes to four or more questions, that says you have a burning 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.
I gained so many new skills as a leader
Alicia Turner, Sr. Director, Partner Development, Rooftop Digital, LLC
I'm so grateful to Maikel Bailey for the growth I've experienced personally and as a leader. I really struggled to understand my team and how to help them work cohesively together. The assessments of my team were so insightful! We not only had a better understanding of how we all work, but also how to communicate and value each other for the talents we all bring to the table.
I have learned so much about myself through this process and gained so many new skills as a leader. Maikel's vast knowledge and experience have helped us increase our productivity and connections. Others within the organization have commented "there is something special about your team, what are you doing?" and "why does your team work so well together?"
Thank you Maikel!
THE SIX STAGES OF LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
1. Build a Foundation of Integrity and Confidence for Leadership and Success
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.
2. MASTER YOUR FEARS and Rid Yourself of What's Holding you Back
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.
3. Strengthen and Solidify Your Leadership Agility for Greater Successes for You and Your Teams
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.
4. Develop the Passion and Skills to Build Unstoppable Teams
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.
5. Exceed Expectations with Solid Character and Brilliant Performance
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.
6. Actualize the Greatness of Individuals, Teams, and Organizations
Build a Great Legacy of Leadership and Service
Focusing on the greatness within each team member to become even greater in their unique ways is an essential role of each leader. This is the talent development. You know how and skills to develop employees and leaders is a three-way win: the employees, the organization, and you.
What if you had those skills to make that contribution to your organization? How many could you help develop and mature employee and leadership skills?
My quality of life is growing daily
Andrew Dean - Entrepreneur
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.
