A Hidden Force

Unlocking the Potential of Neurodiversity at Work

About this book

How can your teams meet their true collective potential? ?Diversity is a hot topic in the business world, but it has been largely restricted to meaning a diversity of experiences based on a person's heritage, upbringing, or gender. As A Hidden Force points out, however, there is another type of diversity that has been overlooked until recently: neurodiversity—the differences in how our brains process information. Through his research, personal experiences, and extensive interviews with global neurodiversity experts and neurodivergent people in the workforce, Ed Thompson convincingly shows: • Why neurodiversity has historically been overlooked by society and in business and why it's so relevant
• Why embracing neurodiversity will help us be part of and build more innovative and effective teams
• How we can take our new understanding of the topic and neuroinclusive principles into our everyday work and interactions A Hidden Force makes a timely, apt, and critical contribution to today's business world. Written for business leaders, talent management professionals, and neurodivergent employees, this book shows why and how creating a work environment that welcomes the full spectrum of talent benefits everyone.
