Margaret Andrews is on a mission to improve the art of leadership – one ambitious, talented individual at a time. Her course, Managing Yourself and Leading Others, is among the most popular classes and executive programs at Harvard and the foundation for much of her speaking.

​

An accomplished businesswoman, speaker, and instructor, Margaret has always been interested in the human side of business. With over 20 years of business and academic leadership, she understands the ins and outs of leading diverse teams in challenging situations. Starting her career as a CPA in San Francisco, she was also a marketing executive, a long-time strategy consultant, the Executive Director of the MBA Program at the MIT Sloan School of Management, and Associate Dean for Management Programs at Harvard University.

​

She currently teaches courses and executive programs at Harvard University and leads The MYLO Center, a leadership development firm based on the Managing Yourself and Leading Others (MYLO) class at Harvard, and Higher Ed Associates, a firm devoted to improving leadership capabilities at colleges and universities.​

​

When she’s not teaching, writing, or speaking, Margaret can often be found in the water, frequently at Walden Pond. She is a lifelong swimmer and newly-minted open-water marathon swimmer, having completed her first 10K swim in 2022 and currently preparing for her next one.
