Margaret Andrews: Managing with Intention- A Bold Approach to Leadership

About This Episode

The most powerful leadership breakthroughs often come from clarity, not new strategy. In this conversation with executive educator and author Margaret C. Andrews, we explore a grounded, human approach to leadership that begins with self-understanding and translates intention into visible, credible results. Margaret shares how pivotal feedback sparked a Harvard course and her new book, Manage Yourself to Lead Others: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding, which reframes growth from the inside out, along with practical tools to align values, priorities, and leadership style. Through reflection, real stories, and actionable prompts, this episode offers a clear path to closing the gap between who you are and how you lead.
