Muhammad Ali’s Leadership Habit That Set Him Apart

Muhammad Ali’s Leadership Habit That Set Him Apart

Undefeated boxing champion and entrepreneur Laila Ali takes us ringside, then into the heart of what it means to belong.


In this episode of Essential Habits, we uncover the deceptively simple practice her father, Muhammad Ali, modeled again and again: looking after the person no one else notices.


Through Laila’s stories, from waiting in queues of adoring fans to earning her father’s reluctant blessing to box, we learn how true leadership is less about spotlight and more about presence. By tuning into the quiet moments and the people at the back of the line, we tap into a habit that transforms culture, boosts trust, and fuels high performance.


In this episode, we explore:


- Why 'the last person in line' matters more than the loudest voice

- The neurobiology of inclusion and how exclusion literally hurts

- Three simple shifts to build social awareness every day

- How Laila earned her father’s respect and claimed her own greatness

- What high-performing teams gain when everyone feels seen

Whether you lead a team, a family, or just want to notice people more fully, this episode shows why the smallest acts of attention can have the biggest impact.
