Self-awareness in leadership separates managers who simply supervise from leaders who build successful organizations. In this episode, Tom Wheelwright sits down with leadership expert and author Margaret Andrews to explain why leadership starts internally—not externally.
Many entrepreneurs focus on strategy, marketing, and operations but overlook the root problem: their own behavior and communication patterns shape company culture and performance. Margaret shows how leaders unknowingly create team conflict, decision bottlenecks, and burnout when they fail to understand themselves.
You will learn:
- Why self-awareness directly affects team performance
- How leadership habits influence company culture
- How to recognize your blind spots as a business owner
- Practical ways to improve communication and accountability
- How personal growth drives business growth
Margaret brings over 30 years of experience teaching executives at Harvard and MIT and explains how internal leadership discipline leads to external results. Tom connects these ideas to entrepreneurship and financial success, showing why leadership skill is a business asset, not just a personality trait.
This matters now because businesses no longer compete only on products or pricing—they compete on leadership. Entrepreneurs who develop self-awareness make faster decisions, build stronger teams, and scale more effectively while others struggle with constant operational problems.
