Abstract
Session 1180: Neurodiversity in the Limelight: Leadership and Social Insights
Neurodiversity traits have become of interest to practitioners implementing recruitment and development efforts (ex: Microsoft, EY), and scholars. Recent theory has been introduced on reconceptualizing leadership as neurodiverse, and reconceptualizing workplaces and social phenomena as neurodiverse friendly. A recent autism and employment integrative review highlighted how there is little leadership research that addresses neurominority leadership outcomes. The review also highlighted that the majority of published research should be interpreted with caution due to small sample sizes. This symposium introduces new research that utilizes mixed methods to examine neurominorities' leadership and the social influence of colleagues. The research in the symposium explores consequences of neurominority identities and how neurominority identities affect outcomes at the individual and firm levels of analysis. The symposium ends with how future neurodiversity leadership and social phenomena research can increase methodological rigor and yield positive outcomes from neurominority employee contributions.
