Why do teams with neurodiverse talent often out-innovate more homogenous teams?

Because solving complex problems require diversity of thought. As Steve Jobs used to say, "Think Different! "

What's the catch?

Leading these kinds of innovative teams isn't easy – in fact, it's very difficult.

It requires 'true leadership' according to today's guest, Dr. Keivan Stassun, a MacArthur fellow, rocket scientist, professor, and Founder and Director of the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation at Vanderbilt University.

Organizations that develop this leadership capability will reap the benefits.

With that in mind, Dr. Stassun and I have a challenge for CEOs across the country. We challenge you to develop rising leaders who are ready to lead neurodiverse teams.

And if you accept our challenge, we would love to hear your stories. What's working? What's is not? How are you thinking different? What are you doing to build a bench of future leaders who can help everyone reach their full potential?

Given the complex challenges that lie ahead, this may be the defining leadership development challenge (and opportunity) of our generation.

I call it the: "Neurodiverse Leadership Challenge."
