Challenges of a Neurodivergent Working in the C-Suite
Hi friend,
Welcome to a special edition of the OGL Podcast!
In this episode, Doug Guthrie is joined by OGL co-founder and creative leadership expert Prof. David Slocum. While our “On The Ground in China” series usually focuses on the ebbing and flowing of geopolitics, we are taking a deep dive into the second pillar of our organization: Creative Leadership.
David shares his decades of expertise on the evolution of Creative Leadership to explore how creativity and innovation are essential in all roles in navigating complex global business systems. We also have a deeply personal and candid conversation about Neurodivergence in leadership when Doug shares his own experience being neurodivergent working in C-suite and discusses why the modern business world needs to move beyond “neuro-normative” standards to embrace vulnerability and different ways of thinking.
Expect to learn: How the concept of creative leadership has shifted from a niche marketing term to a central requirement for navigating “poly-crises”, The “Three Loops of Learning” as a framework for operational, strategic, and cultural learning that helps leaders thrive in unfamiliar global markets and How Artificial Intelligence can act as a “cognitive orthotic” for neurodivergent team members and creative leaders.
