For achievement-oriented professionals, ADHD can create unique challenges that impact leadership effectiveness and team dynamics. At INP, we focus on transforming these challenges into opportunities for growth through targeted evaluation and personalized intervention strategies. Through our work with early leaders, executives, and senior managers, we’ve developed specific approaches that address the complexity of these cognitively demanding roles.
