Host Dr. Tracy Edwards closes out 2025 by revisiting conversations that defined a year of transformation—self-awareness, courage, belonging, governance, and renewal. This episode collects insights from guests who show how discomfort, humility, community, and structure all fuel sustained leadership change.

Listen for practical takeaways on leading with clarity, building trust and culture, embracing unlearning, and making transformation a daily practice as you prepare for the year ahead.

Today's episode features Harvard instructor Margaret Andrews about her signature approach to leadership: understanding your backstory, values, and emotions so you can manage yourself and lead others more effectively. We discuss how surprising feedback, emotional courage, and practicing new behaviors create real growth.

The episode offers practical takeaways — close the knowing‑doing gap, embrace vulnerability, use team charters or "user manuals," and allow time for S‑curve learning — finishing with one clear reminder: others judge us by our behaviors, not our intentions.
