Intruder alert. Geniuses among us!
So, diversity is all the rage these days, and we’re here for it! But let’s talk about the often-overlooked geniuses in our midst. Yes, those super-smart folks who make us feel like we’re back in high school, trying to remember the quadratic formula. It’s time to give them the recognition they deserve, neurodiversity style!
Now, you might be thinking, “But why are they not already included? They’re so smart!” Well, my friend, it’s a tricky situation. See, people are weird. They fear what they don’t understand, and when it comes to intelligence, we often feel threatened (or maybe just a little jealous). It’s like, “Oh no, they might know more than me and take my job! Or worse they may challenge what I know is absolutely true!”
But fear not! These gifted individuals are a treasure trove of knowledge and innovation. And with the right approach, you can make them feel right at home in your team. Here’s how:
- Hands off, Mr. (or Ms.) Manager! No one likes a micromanager, especially not our genius friends. Give them some space to work their magic.
- Flexibility is key! Let them bend the rules a little; after all, they might just come up with something genius (see what I did there?).
- Bow down to their wisdom. It’s okay to admit they know more than you. Just nod and say, “Wow, you’re so smart!” repeatedly. They’ll love the attention.
- Curiosity killed the cat, but it might just make our geniuses even more brilliant! Encourage their intense curiosity; it’s like fuel for their brain fire.
- Communication: Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue! Ask questions, engage in deep conversations, and pretend you understand their complex theories (even if you’re secretly Googling the terms later).
Remember, these geniuses are like rare gems. Nurture them, appreciate their unique talents, and watch as they shine brighter than the North Star. Your team will thank you, and you might just learn a thing or two (or a hundred) along the way.
So, are you ready to embrace the genius within your team? It’s time to let those big brains run wild and change the world, one innovative idea at a time!
