222: Harvard Leadership Instructor Margaret Andrews | To Lead Others, We Need To Manage Ourselves

Listen Later

22 minutes

Margaret Andrews teaches a variety of leadership courses and professional and executive programs at Harvard University and is the founder of the MYLO Center, a leadership development firm. Her MYLO course (Manage Yourself to Lead Others) has had a wait list every time it’s been taught for over a decade and has become the most popular professional development program at Harvard. And Margaret has now turned her course into a book titled: Manage Yourself to Lead Others.

Margaret earned her undergraduate degree from Cal Berkeley and her graduate degree from MIT.

In this episode we discuss the following:

When Margaret’s boss told her that she wasn’t self-aware, she made a change. She learned more about herself and others—and since then, she has been teaching leaders to do the same.

Margaret helps leaders by asking questions such as: “Who’s thinking has influenced your life?” “What are your core values?” and “What type of leader would you like to become?” Answering these questions helps leaders see where they’re at and where they want to go. And then it takes thoughtfulness and intentionality to become the leaders they want to be.

We have to understand and manage ourselves if we want to understand and lead others.
