ADD and ADHD are finally getting some much-needed recognition in the workplace, but hereâs the real questionâare leaders ready to keep up?
Itâs one thing to acknowledge these neurodivergent traits, but it's another to actually adapt, ditching outdated systems and embracing new ways to lead. Spoiler alert: itâs not just about letting people fidget or work in burstsâitâs about creating a culture where everyone thrives, distractions and all.
So, are leaders truly on board? Well, one leader is and sheâs telling you how sheâs doing it.

âLeaders who communicate with trust, see conflict as a necessity, and behave with integrity.â
âI wrote âpubicâ instead of âpublicâ. So, spellcheck didn't catch that.â
âEven though they may be an expert in their company, we're an expert in what we do and we have to remind ourselves of that.â
"Instead of saying, 'I think,' say, 'I recommend' or 'I suggest.' If they're hiring you for your expertise, don't downplay that expertise."

âIt's not my doing, it's my DNA!â
âIt's more than just permission to not be perfect. It's more than just a self-help tool. It's the thing that can help you stand out and build a product that is super successful without working harder. It's the way to get noticed. It's a way to do work and life differently.â
âI call it an authenticity hack. It's an innovation hack. It's a permission to release your perfectionism.â
âIt is a permission to be more authentic, but it's also a motivator. It's also a thing that helps you stand out from the crowd.â

"So often, we're worried about losing our sense of importance. Thatâs why people are afraid of humor. But the truth is, lightening up allows us to take risks. It helps us think differently, communicate differently, and makes us more receptive."
"There are ways to bring humor into situations without putting yourself in a vulnerable position. There are plenty of ways to take the risk out of humor."
âIf you're looking for humor in moments, you're going to find humor in those moments.â
âLaughing is one of the easiest ways to be mindful.â
âBe yourself and bring that to everything.â

âAuthenticity as a currency makes you rich. It's not the car. It's not the job title. Your level of authenticity is your richness. It is your value. If you have that, lead with that.â
âDon't wait for somebody else to take that risk and get that job because they have the freaking guts to get off the freaking train of doing the same wheels to the motion.â
âHow many of us feel out of control? And that is why we can't be our authentic self.â
âAnd then I wrote a really funny rap song about the experience and sent it around to everybody because you know, that's worth 30 minutes of my lunchtime.â

"I started seeing the 50 percent rule everywhereâHamilton, Weird Al Yankovic, John Madden, Whitney Houston, Shopify, the Volkswagen bug campaign. This rule wasn't just a mantra; it was a strategy that helped people go from underdog to unmatched."
"I would just watch these light bulbs go offânot just the permission to throw out the half, but the permission to add in the creativity and do their own thing and think about it differently."
"Since you were a baby and watched your parents walk and talk, you've been copying. You've been taught that to succeed, you should just emulate those around you."
"You reflect on all that dreaming and work and discipline you've been doing. And in an instant you feel like a Pomodoro. The energy and excitement you once had to go for the big job or start your own company, host a great party, invent a new product. Lead something big at your company was just thatâa dream."

"If you don't have confidence in yourself, look for the confidence others have in you. Take that confidence and use it as energy and strength for yourself."
"So many of us have things to say, but we keep them bottled up. You never know who you'll affect by sharing your thoughts. What you say can have a significant impact on someone's life."
âEmployees have become smarter with social media. If organizations are not transparent, employees will dig and find the information themselves. The question then becomes: do you, as an organization, want to control the narrative, or do you want the narrative to be controlled for you?â
âDoes your organization treat you and others like people and not just cogs in the wheel?â

"We always assume that Baby Boomers are always going to be there, but they're not, professionally or personally. It's important that we ask them, talk to them about what they've learned, and what they've done professionally."
"Gen X is a very independent generation. We really brought working from home into the limelight, making it more acceptable and recognized as legitimate work."
âMillennials helped us make that transition of technology becoming part of our work and our personal life.â
"Gen Z is going to help us with AI, just like millennials helped us with that social media transition. AI is going to help take the tasks that our talented people don't need to waste their time on and let them spend their time on stuff that's important."

"The same value that you get when you're using authenticity internally, in culture and leadership, is just as profound when applied externally, to sales, business development, and marketing materials."
"If you start to train your people and rewire their brain to see the value of using authenticity, it will help you both externally to stand out, and internally to improve culture and engagement."
"We focus so much on the innovation and the cool features, and then what do we do? We throw it in a brown Amazon package."
If you just have the guts and vision to be more authentic, to be bolder, to talk like a human, you would easily stand out."
