We often define leadership by what is visible: titles, decisions and outcomes. But it is shaped just as much by what unfolds behind the spotlight. In this episode of #SheShapesNow Conversations 🎙️, Shimona Chadha, Chief Marketing Officer, Persistent speaks with Blair South, Senior Director, Engineering at Cisco on what it really takes to lead. From building influence through relationships to creating space for vulnerability, the conversation reflects on how trust is formed and decisions are made. It is also a reminder that leadership is rarely linear, and that the role of a leader is not just to drive outcomes, but to build people and perspectives. 🎬 Watch the full conversation. #SheShapesNow #ReAImaginingTheWorld Anand Deshpande, Sandeep Kalra, Vinit Teredesai, Anand Krishnan, Barath Narayanan S S, Chitra Byregowda, Debashis Singh, Dr. Rajesh Gharpure, Ganesh Nathella, Hari Abhyankar, Jaideep Vijay Dhok, Kuljesh Puri, Mukesh Agarwal, Nitha Puthran, Nitish Shrivastava, Padmanabhan V, Rahul Shrivastava, Rajiv Naithani, Ruchi Kulhari, Shimona Chadha, Saurabh Dwivedi, Tom Klein, Matt Price, Atul Deshpande, Armen Bandari, Amit Mahendroo, Ravi Guntupalli, Srijit Menon, Punit Khanna, Vipan Kapoor, Himmat Jadhav
