Neisha discusses the power of bringing situational leadership, adaptability, and flexibility to the work environment in order to create a space in which you can focus on the individual and bring out the best in your people.
She also shares the powerful lessons in leadership that she has learned from her 5-year-old, neurodiverse son which has changed how she approaches providing support for the people on her team.
