177. Margaret Andrews: Becoming the Leader Only You Can Be
Wed Feb 04 2026
Leadership is hard right now.
Maybe one of your intentions for this year is to grow as a leader. Maybe you’re questioning if you even want to be one.
For those who choose to be leaders, it’s important to set our intentions so that we can focus our efforts on making work better for ourselves and those around us.
In this conversation, Harvard Instructor and leadership expert Margaret Andrews and I discuss why self-leadership is vital to then leading others, how to intentionally and sustainably cultivate new practices and behaviors, and why good leadership doesn't come from following a formula or fitting yourself into a box. It’s about becoming the kind of leader only you can be.
