Authentic leadership and neurodiversity: how to create workplaces where employees thrive

It is estimated that 15-20% of people worldwide are neurodivergent. By leveraging a strengths-based approach to learning – focusing on what an individual can do best – leaders can embrace the power of their talent.​ Diverse teams boost creativity and innovation, create greater opportunities for professional growth, and make better decisions over time.1​ Companies that believe diversity strengthens their culture and create a flexible, agile and supportive work environment have become more successful at recruiting the right talent, particularly in tough-to-fill skills categories. And company output – including the bottom line – has profited from the lower attrition rates and higher productivity of a diverse workforce. ​ Listen in as our experts discuss how to show up authentically as a leader, best practices for harnessing the unique strengths of neurodiverse talent, and why the best teams are the most diverse. ​ ​ 1 Source: “Neurodiversity at work: a biopsychosocial model and the impact on working adults.” NIH, 2020
