Neuroinclusion : A Guide for Managers and Leaders

This book is a practical guide for anyone with managerial and leadership responsibilities.It walks you through what you need to know to develop neuroinclusive working cultures that enable, develop and get the best out of all team members. Up to 20% of the working population has a neurodivergent difference – such as dyslexia, autism or ADHD.The diversity of thought and skills that such people bring to the workplace has been shown to increase creativity, enhance profitability and improve team morale.Managers and leaders have a key role to play in harnessing these benefits: it is up to them to create a neuroinclusive culture by setting the tone and approach. Written by two experts in the field, both with lived experience of neurodiversity, this book is a hands-on manual for adapting your organisation to better support neurodivergent talent and developing a more inclusive and strengths-based management style.The authors provide research evidence, reflective exercises and real-life case studies to deliver an irrefutable rationale for neuroinclusivity and the techniques needed to deliver it.Managers and leaders at all levels will develop their leadership and management capabilities; and organisations will find it easier to attract and retain talent, solve problems creatively and be more resilient – critical competencies in the modern working world.
