Engineering Self-Efficacy and the ”UNMEDSAI” Leadership Filter | Ep. 41 ft. Alan Lazaros

"Humility needs to be inward, because externally, I probably come off as a Type-A jerk." Alan Lazaros doesn't pull punches. In a world of "lottery mindsets" and curated Instagram lifestyles, Alan brings an engineer’s precision to the messy work of human growth. Josh and Alan discuss the burden of high self-efficacy, the myth of the "overnight success" in business, and the specific personality traits—the UNMEDSAI score—that indicate someone is uncoachable. If you’ve ever felt like you’re "dragging" your team along, this episode provides the data-driven framework to understand why, and how to stop being "hoodwinkable" by surface-level performance. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ The 1% Daily Iteration: Why Next Level University treats personal growth like a software update. ✅ High IQ vs. High EQ: Navigating the friction between hyper-rational leadership and human emotion. ✅ Self-Efficacy Gaps: Why "Type A" leaders unintentionally project impossible standards onto their teams. ✅ The UNMEDSAI Filter: The 8 toxic traits (Unstable, Entitled, Delusional, etc.) that make a person impossible to lead. ✅ The Real World vs. Social World: Why Leonardo DiCaprio might look like a leader, but "Christina the COO" is the one actually moving the needle. ✅ Situational Humility: How to tell the difference between someone who is actually humble and someone who is just having a "bad week." ✅ The Integrity of the "As-Found": Why leaders must assess the raw data of a situation before "turning the knobs" to fix it. 🔗 Connect with Alan Lazaros: You can follow Alan on Instagram @.alazaros88 You can visit his Facebook at www.facebook.com/alan.lazaros And you can visit his LinkedIn Profile at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanlazarosllc 📬 Contact Josh: [email protected] 📱 Follow Leadership in Quarters: Instagram, YouTube & TikTok @leadinquarters Artwork by: Adam Powell Music I Use: Bensound.com/free-music-for-videos License code: V1NIJP37DBD08Q30 #LeadershipInQuarters #AlanLazaros #NextLevelUniversity #SelfEfficacy #TypeAPersonality #LeadershipData #EQ #ProfessionalGrowth #Unmedsai #JoshSeldin
