Self-Leadership: The Competitive Advantage No One’s Talking About

What separates leaders people trust from leaders they just tolerate? It’s not charisma. It’s not talent. It’s self-leadership — the ability to lead yourself with consistency, clarity, and accountability before you ever try to lead others.

In this episode, Jonathan Collier and Alan “Stay Forth” Briggs unpack why self-leadership is the hidden competitive advantage in today’s world, how to model it for your team, and what practical habits build trust faster than any title or resume ever could.

• Why consistency breeds credibility (and how to spot it on any team)

• The simple 3-foot rule that keeps your leadership grounded

• How to model behaviors your team will actually copy

• Why deadlines and follow-through create instant trust

• How to manage your energy, not just your calendar

• The tension between bringing your best and not being perfect

• Practical steps to raise your self-leadership game this week
