    Human First, Leader Second with Massimo Backus - EP 027

    In this episode, Massimo Backus shares his transformative journey toward becoming a more compassionate and effective leader. It all started when he received unexpected feedback: despite his skills and capabilities, he was seen as a “bad leader.” That wake-up call pushed him to look inward and embrace self-compassion as a crucial tool for growth. Massimo shares how learning to be kinder to himself not only improved his own well-being but also allowed him to create a space of psychological safety for those around him. He believes self-compassion isn't just a personal practice—it’s a leadership philosophy that can foster healthier, more human-centered work environments. Tune in as Massimo explains why embracing your own humanity and cultivating self-compassion is essential for leaders who want to inspire, connect, and create positive change.
