Episode notes
Leadership Advice Misses Marginalized Leaders
- Traditional leadership advice often targets alpha male leaders and doesn't fit marginalized leaders' realities.
- Marginalized leaders need guidance on setting boundaries, decision-making confidence, and discerning genuine feedback.
Diverse Teams Enable Effective Leadership
- Leadership effectiveness comes from diverse teams that share responsibilities and adapt styles to situations.
- No single style fits all; leaders must flex depending on context and rely on team strengths.
Do Personal Work As A Leader
- Neurodivergent leaders must engage in personal development to manage challenges responsibly.
- Being neurodivergent is not an excuse for poor behavior; seek therapy or coaching for emotional regulation.
