Leadership Unlocked · 2026-04-29 · 17 min
Dusty goes solo to confront a subtle but damaging misconception at the heart of servant leadership - the belief that focusing on yourself somehow takes away from serving others - and argues the opposite: failing to lead yourself is the most selfish thing you can do. Drawing from personal experience and a powerful leadership session with a high-performing team, he exposes how neglecting self-leadership quietly erodes clarity, decision-making, and ultimately the impact you have on everyone you lead. Through a set of three diagnostic questions - what must change, what patterns keep repeating, and where you’re saying yes instead of no - he shows how the same rigor leaders apply to their organizations must be turned inward. Dusty then introduces a practical three-step activation system - assess, clarify, align - guiding leaders to audit their own execution gaps, define an intentional work state, and bring others into their growth process to expose blind spots.
