ADHD at Work: What Leaders Keep Getting Wrong (and How to Fix It) w/Moonlake Lee Ep 25

ADHD at work is still one of the most misunderstood neurodivergent experiences especially in Singapore. We don’t talk about it enough.     So this week on Innotainment, ⁠Aga Gajownik⁠ is joined by ⁠Moonlake Lee⁠, founder of Unlocking ADHD, to unpack what ADHD really looks like in the workplace beyond stereotypes, labels, and “special treatment” myths.     In this episode, they explore: Why ADHD is often invisible, undiagnosed, and undisclosed at work How executive function challenges around time, overwhelm and emotional regulation show up in real teams Neurodivergent burnout, masking, and the hidden cost to organisations Why "ADHD-friendly" workplaces are actually just better-designed workplaces What leaders can start, stop, and redesign today, without lowering standards or overloading managers How to support ADHD employees without singling them out or creating reverse exclusion This conversation moves beyond awareness into practical, brain-friendly design. From communication and check-ins to psychological safety, body doubling, and strength-based work, this episode offers actionable insights for leaders, managers, and neurodivergent professionals alike.   This is Season 2 of the Innotainment Podcast, now continuing as Brain Friendly Systems with Aga Gajownik.   Links mentioned in this episode: ⁠Moonlake Lee⁠ - Founder, Unlocking ADHD ⁠Unlocking ADHD⁠  ⁠Moonlake's LinkedIn Newsletter - ADHD Life & Musings⁠ ⁠VIA Character Strengths Survey⁠ ⁠Ep 19 - Workplace Disengagement with Naomi Glover⁠ ⁠Ep 21 - Trust and Teamwork with Brian Slattery⁠ ⁠Ep 22 - Corporate Benefits with Andrea Toh⁠ ⁠Aga Gajownik⁠ - Certified ADHD Practitioner and founder of Innovation Integration ⁠Innotainment podcast⁠⁠ -⁠ ⁠Q&A / Office Hours Submission Form⁠⁠ : Submit questions for future episodes  Follow Innotainment Podcast and Aga Gajownik on Instagram⁠ ⁠@innotainment_podcast,⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠@myquirkyadhdbrain⁠
