750: Six Questions Every Leader Should Ask Themselves, with Margaret Andrews

Margaret Andrews: Manage Yourself to Lead Others

Margaret Andrews is a seasoned executive, academic leader, speaker, and instructor. Her course MYLO (Manage Yourself to Lead Others) has become the most popular professional development program at Harvard. She is the author of Manage Yourself to Lead Others: Why Great Leadership Begins with Self-Understanding (Amazon, Bookshop)*.

Virtually every book, course, and program on leadership begins with self-understanding. That’s no accident; it’s because managing ourselves helps us lead others more effectively. In this episode, Margaret and I explore the six key questions that will help you manage yourself better.

Key Points
  • When people are asked to describe the attributes of their best bosses, 85% of the responses highlight interpersonal skills.
  • Our differences are our features, not our flaws. Knowing yourself well helps you lead others better.

Six Questions for Self-Understanding:

  1. Who, and whose thinking, has shaped you as an individual?
  2. What situations and events have helped shape your perspective?
  3. What does success look like for you?
  4. What are your core values, and how have these values changed throughout your life?
  5. To what extent are you aware of—and allow yourself to feel—your emotions?
  6. What feedback have you received over the years about how your actions and behaviors impact others?
