Managing and Leading Neurodivergent Colleagues

“Neurodiversity” is a popular term that’s used to describe differences in the way people’s brains work. The idea is that there’s no “correct” way for the brain to work. Instead, there is a wide range of ways that people perceive and respond to the world, and these differences are to be embraced and encouraged.

Effectively managing neurodivergent colleagues requires the adoption of an inclusive workplace that can open the dialogue between employees and managers. Establishing clear policies and providing flexible work environments is a great step in managing neurodiverse employees. Our course highlights a range of scenarios between neurotypical colleagues and managers, laying out strategies to eliminate obstacles and leverage the strengths of neurodivergent colleagues.
