For leaders of team

As an effective leader, you work hard to give your people the tools they need to contribute their best. When it comes to team members with ADHD, the following resources can help:
- Fully Human Lawyer™: How ADHD Affects the Workplace
“Executive Functions: What They Are, How They Work and Why They Evolved,” by Russell Barkley, Ph.D.

- “When is Good, Good ENOUGH? Overcoming Perfectionism” (20-minute podcast; it starts at :40 following a brief ad).
My personal leadership hero – ADHD pioneer and former Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Edward “Ned” Hallowell – and I explain the sometimes-surprising link among leadership, excellence, and perfectionism. Many people – especially parents – have said this framework helped them and their kids kick perfectionism to the curb once and for all.
For a better understanding
of adult ADHD
The key to thriving with ADHD – in any setting – is to understand this deceptively complex condition. That lets you leverage its strengths while minimizing its challenges. ADHD manifests differently in each individual, which means it’s crucial to understand how it affects you specifically (or the person you care about). Here are resources:
- ADDitude Magazine
Resources for adults and children with ADHD. The most comprehensive ADHD resource I’ve seen. All content comes from credible, vetted experts and covers both adults and children with practical strategies for daily life. - Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA)
Resources for adults with ADHD. The world’s largest organization for adults with ADHD. ADDA offers virtual support groups, webinars led by ADHD experts, an annual conference, and extensive free resources for managing ADHD at work and home.
- ADHD & Marriage, by Melissa Orlov
If ADHD is impacting your relationship—and most of the time, it does!—Melissa Orlov offers research-backed strategies to help you and your partner rebuild trust and connection in a judgment-free way. Her excellent resources include a weekly newsletter, a nine-week seminar for couples, a website, and a user-friendly book.
- Clutterbug
While many people struggle to stay organized, ADHD makes it even harder. Clutterbug’s website, videos, and podcast offer practical, judgment-free approaches to organization that align with how ADHD brains naturally work. Clutterbug offers a quiz to determine your specific organizing style, with strategies tailored to that style. - Anything by Dr. Russell Barkley
- “The ADHD Productivity Manual” by Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA
A comprehensive guide written in short, stand-alone sections you can read in any order—perfect for the ADHD brain. Each chapter includes practical advice and reflection questions to help you take action immediately.
For parents of
children with ADHD
Parenting has plenty of challenges—and parenting a child with ADHD brings even more. Fortunately, we now have many strategies to support these kids at home and school. An ADHD-informed parent is always a more effective parent.
- ADDitude Magazine
This comprehensive ADHD website offers expert information about ADHD in children, plus an “ADHD Parenting” section to help you design systems that will help your child—and the rest of your family—flourish.

- Forman School
Forman School is a college preparatory school specializing in students with ADHD, dyslexia, and related learning differences. Albert Einstein was a board member. Through its cutting-edge Cognition and Learning Center, Forman offers webinars and resources with guidance on study strategies, executive functioning, assistive technology, advocacy, and practical ways to support your child in the classroom and at home. - How to ADHD
Expert Jessica McCabe starts each episode of this excellent video series with her catchphrase, “Hello, Brains!” Since many teens prefer watching to reading, this video series is a great self-education resource for them. A word of caution though: t’s tough to separate credible information from the massive amounts of ADHD misinformation online, so if you do consider other videos, make sure the creator is a credible expert, not a self-anointed “ADHD expert” influencer. - Coaching the Whole Child: Jodi Sleeper-Triplett on 30 Years of ADHD Advocacy and EF Support (a 33-minute listen).
Jodi Sleeper-Triplett showed the world that coaching children with ADHD is the best way to help them succeed. Coaching is now the gold standard; in this interview, she shows how parents can coach their own kids. - Understood
Understood is a leading nonprofit focused on helping people who learn or think differently. (It covers many neurodivergent conditions, not just ADHD.) The website offers free, top-notch, expert-vetted resources, many of which are focused on children.
Your primary job is to give your employees the tools they need to contribute their best work. The following resources offer evidence-based information to help you support your team members with ADHD.
