We're told that leadership means distance. That the higher you climb, the more you need to separate yourself from your team to be respected. This episode says the opposite is true, and it might be the thing that changes how you lead for good.

In this one, we're unpacking the two types of leadership nobody talks about enough: leading others, and leading yourself. Because you can be brilliant at managing a team and still be terrible at managing your own discipline when no one's watching. And you can be a powerhouse of self-leadership and still have no idea how to bring people with you.

We get into:

• The real difference between leading a team and leading yourself, and why most people are only strong at one of the two
• Why calm under pressure isn't the same thing as having no pressure at all, and how to actually build that trait
• A story about a boss who welcomed an employee back with zero ego after they resigned to try something else, and why that's one of the most powerful leadership moves there is
• Why being predictable might be the most underrated leadership trait going, and why humans trust it more than we realise
• What leadership looks like at home, in a relationship, and why it doesn't have to mean being in charge of every decision

This week's challenge: think of one area of your life where you're already leading yourself well. Give yourself the credit. Then let us know how it lands.
