Marie-Claude Michaud & Roméo Dallaire on “Leading with Vulnerability” | NSB Engage Virtual Webinar
“In addition to a willingness to be vulnerable, benevolent leadership means nurturing employees and helping them see that there are ways to grow together as an organization and as colleagues.” – Marie-Claude Michaud
The Globe and Mail recently spoke with Roméo Dallaire and Marie-Claude Michaud about their topic Introducing a Benevolent Leadership. In this co-presentation, Dallaire & Marie-Claude Michaud introduce their newest work, combining his expertise as an on-the-ground leader and crisis management expert and her 25 years of leadership and development within the Department of National Defense. Together, they share the principles and application of a Benevolent Leadership Culture.
As they see it, with benevolent leadership, leaders are empathetic, open, vulnerable and place people’s well-being at the centre of everything. There’s a reciprocity between manager and employee that boosts motivation and self-esteem, leading to talent retention and healthy employee engagement.

Marie-Claude Michaud, an experienced leader, worked for the Department of National Defense for 25 years in support of a patriarchal, hierarchical, and predominantly male environment: the Canadian Armed Forces. In 2015, Ms. Michaud launched a major transformation of the Centre’s work environment under a new strategic plan that became the basis of Benevolent Leadership Culture. The core principle of this leadership culture is to put human-beings at the forefront, in a relationship of reciprocity and cooperation within the organization’s leadership structure. Her recently published book, Être leader sans armure. Le pouvoir de la vulnérabilité en gestion, relates both her experience as a leader in a complex and adverse environment, and proposes with very practical means and applications this new people upfront leadership culture.
