This week’s theme: Advocating for Neurodiversity

Embracing and understanding neurodiversity is key for leaders aiming to build productive teams. Team members process and communicate information differently, which can affect how they respond to instructions and feedback. Individuals with ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, or working memory challenges—often “invisible disabilities”—may need specific support to thrive. While there’s a misconception that neurodivergent people may be less capable or need constant assistance, they actually bring unique strengths and innovative problem-solving skills to their teams when supported appropriately. By understanding and accommodating these differences, companies can tap into these talents and enhance overall team performance.
