Based on Harvard’s most popular professional development program, an "insightful, honest, and refreshingly practical" (Dorie Clark, author of The Long Game) guide to harnessing the power of self-understanding to become a more successful leader

What is the “best” way to lead others? The answer may surprise you.

The basis for powerful, effective leadership comes from within—from understanding the people, ideas, and events that have shaped your worldview and how these influences express themselves in your leadership style. In Manage Yourself to Lead Others, leadership expert Margaret Andrews helps you understand yourself and translate this understanding into effectively managing yourself, leading others, working with your boss, and making better decisions.

Andrews has taught thousands of executives in her professional development course at Harvard, and she shares her insights, practical tips, and questions for reflection here. This book will allow you to identify the kind of leader you want to be, the behavioral patterns that help get you there or stand in your way, and what it takes to develop new leadership capabilities. Whether you’ve just been promoted or you’ve been leading a team for decades, Manage Yourself to Lead Others is essential reading for all leaders.
