Mind Over Masculinity

Leading Magnanimously While Scaling Ruthlessly — A Servant Leader’s Guide to Systems Thinking with Andrew Brummer


Listen Later

What does it take to stay deeply human while building systems that can scale? In this Mind Over Masculinity episode, host Avik Chakraborty and leadership coach and fractional executive Andrew Brummer break down the tension between heart-led leadership and operational rigour. Andrew shares how reinvention at 53 sharpened his philosophy: people first, systems next, results always. We cover mindset during uncertainty, calling out executive blind spots without escalation, building self-loyal teams, and why networking and service—not titles—protect your career. Essential listening for founders, operators, and leaders scaling teams across startups and the enterprise.

 

About the Guest  :

Andrew Brummer is a servant leader, solutionist, and fractional executive whose career spans startups to Fortune 500 environments. A mentor to emerging professionals and executives worldwide, he champions people-centric systems and practical execution. He is the author of “Leading Magnanimously” and mentors across India, the U.S., Africa, and beyond.

 

Key Takeaways  :

  • Reinvention starts with accountability: move from victim mode to execution by choosing your mindset daily.

  • Build before you need it: consistent service, branding, and networking create real career resilience.

  • “People → Customers → Company”: care for the team first; strong teams deliver enduring customer value.

  • Call out blind spots without triggering defense: lead with facts, humility, and shared outcomes.

  • Systems don’t kill the soul—misused systems do: design processes that enable empowered, self-led teams.

  • Culture differs, business problems rhyme: across countries, professional challenges align while personal contexts vary.

  • Lead individuals, design for the collective: personalize growth paths while aligning to clear KPIs/OKRs.

  • Make yourself dispensable to become scalable: hire, delegate, and architect teams that thrive without you.
