Leads from the back to keep out of people’s way and allow them to take the business forward 
Appointed external auditors to measure how well they’re doing for diversity and help them continuously improve 
Rolled out DISC training across the business so everyone better understands each other, is more respectful and challenges ideas 
Takes it as her personal responsibility to retain the culture so the team keeps turning up every day and doing a great job
