📔September's blog post arrives a couple of days late because the author, board member Lisa Gilham, has ADHD and blew through every deadline she set for herself to write it. Fittingly, this post is about supporting neurodivergent staff members. And, at the end of the day, the deadlines were self-imposed and the content is going to be as good to read on a Thursday as it would have been on a Tuesday. 😉 🔖Here's the thesis: As a manager, your staff don't need to reveal their diagnoses or types of neurodivergence for you to employ inclusive and individualized strategies that allow them to do their best work. Managers play a critical role in supporting developing leaders from historically excluded communities in tech, including those who have been excluded on the basis of ability. Learning more about neurodivergence and what resources you can provide your staff will help create an environment in which they can thrive and bring their unique skills and strengths to the work of your team. 📖Learn all about it here: https://lnkd.in/ggcUyj4u #neurodivergence #support #weareamplify #newblog
