Introducing the From BAD to BADASS book series! The book From BAD to BADASS Leader is the first book in the series by Michelle D. Reines, it's an autobiography of leadership lessons learned. What this book is not, is a leadership academic resource, filled with principles, methodologies, laws, or processes - it's a conversation. It's like we sat down and shared stories over an ice-cold beer or chilled lemonade on a hot, sunny day. It's an unconventional leadership book, edgy, fun, playful and informative. By reading this book, you’ll be taken on a ride with me through my personal leadership story. While you’re reading the tales of my woes and cat-howl moments, I️ encourage you to think about your own story and how my experiences might offer you some insight into what’s happening on your journey. Our specific trades or crafts might be different, don’t be too quick to skip over the details of the ride. The lessons are in the stories. Stories make lessons stickier, like Loctite to a nut & bolt. Challenge yourself to find the similarities that might be happening in your life. Fix what’s not working or no longer fits and cat-howl, growl, and pound your chest for the stuff you’ve got dialed-in. Then get out there and pay it forward. Help develop other badass leaders by sharing your lessons learned. Yes, the good, bad, and ugly! If you haven’t already, I’d love it if you’d Join the Badass Leadership Movement at www.badassleader.com, so we can support one another. Tip: Be sure to dive into some selfie-discovery in the Treasure Hunts tucked in behind each lesson. #EnjoytheJourney #PromotingPeopleWork&Play
Who is this book for? Perhaps you're an up-and-coming leader, entrepreneur, or executive - who's received a few bruises of your own and want to take your badass leadership competencies to the next level. If so pull up a chair and come along for the ride. However, if the word badass offends you, or you prefer principles and methodology over life lessons, stories, and a causal, playful approach to leadership; please invest in another book that might be a better fit. #IntentionallyUnconventional #LeadershipisNotOneSizeFitsAll #ServingEveryDayHeroesWhoLead
