Ask almost any leader if they're self-aware and most will say yes. But research shows only 15% actually are. That gap – between who we think we are and how others experience us – is where most leadership development needs to start.

Unfortunately, it almost never does.

Margaret Andrews, who has spent two decades teaching this at Harvard, is here to help close the gap.

Topic Highlights

– Why the best boss you ever had probably wasn't (always) the smartest person in the room

– Six questions that reveal more about your leadership than any 360 assessment will

– The difference between changing your personality (you can't) and changing your behavior (you absolutely can)

– Why “if you want to change how people think, you have to change how they feel” is the most underused insight in leadership development
