The Leadership Habits That Make or Break Organizations

Most organizations focus on employee training when teams underperform. But Michael Chavez discovered the real issue: Management is often the weakest link. Leaders' daily habits—not their policies or procedures—determine whether teams thrive or simply survive.

During his Navy career, Michael transformed 30+ underperforming team members into top performers by fundamentally changing how he led. His breakthrough insight? People follow what they see, not what they hear.When leaders model collaboration, clear expectations, and genuine investment in their people's success, transformation becomes inevitable.

What Michael Delivers:

For Business Leaders & Entrepreneurs:

  • How to identify the leadership habits silently sabotaging your team's performance
  • The specific behaviors that create cultures of collaboration versus competition
  • Why setting people up for future success (not just current tasks) drives loyalty and results
  • Practical frameworks for becoming the leader people actually want to follow

Proven Impact:

Michael's leadership philosophy has guided teams through high-stakes military operations and now helps business leaders create environments where people naturally excel. His book, "The Power of Everyday Habits," provides practical frameworks for anyone ready to transform their performance and results through intentional daily practices.

Core Message:

"Your team's effectiveness is a direct reflection of your leadership habits. Change the leader's daily behaviors, and you change everything."

Speaking Topics:

  • The Leadership Habits That Build High-Performance Teams
  • Why People Follow What They See (Not What You Say)
