Andy welcomes repeat guest Massimo Backus this week on The Talent Development Hot Seat. He is an executive coach, speaker, and author of an upcoming book on compassionate leadership.

He recently left the employee world to become an entrepreneur as a leadership development coach and facilitator.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

1. How Massimo Backus defines compassionate leadership and why the concept of self-compassion is important to good leadership.
2. The three main components of the principle of self-compassion and why they are especially important for leaders.
3. Why past successes aren’t indicative of future success as a manager and why management skills are usually learned through trial by fire.
4. How you can find the right people to talk to about personal or professional issues and find the courage to be vulnerable.
5. What self-kindness can do to help you bring your best at work.
