In this podcast episode, Matthew and Mark Woodward from neurobox discuss indirect support for individuals with dyslexia. The focus is on training middle managers in organizations to effectively lead people with neurodiversity, like dyslexia. This approach goes beyond legal compliance, delving into understanding the unique needs of neurodiverse individuals and providing appropriate support. Dyslexic thinking and problem-solving methods, often unconventional, are highlighted. Supportive leaders create an environment where neurodiverse team members thrive and feel understood, reducing the burden of hiding their challenges. Remaining curious and open-minded as leaders alleviates pressure and encourages collaboration, optimizing dyslexic strengths.
