Book Reviews of ADD In The Workplace: Choices, Changes, And Challenges
Book Review: ADD in the Workplace
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a succinct book with a very logical structure/layout, making it super-easy to find your way around. Kathleen Nadeau emphasizes the individuality of people with ADD and how ADD affects people differently, (e.g. when combined with various different personality types. She uses the Myers Briggs type indicator throughout the book - an interesting touch). A necessary accommodation for one ADD-er could be unneccessary or a hinderance for another. Within broad topics, she focuses on specific characteristics/ difficulties of people with ADD.
For example, in chapter 3, on job performance, there are clearly deliniated subsections on specific difficulties, such as:
-Distractibility: external distractions
-Distractibility: internal distractions
-hyperfocusing
-impulsivity
-hyperactivity
-memory problems
-need for stimulation (intolerance of routine)
-difficulty coordinating simultaneous tasks
-etc.
She gives some ideas on how to work with each of these (and other) common ADD difficulties.
Nadeau encourages readers to investigate their personality types and interests, when trying to improve their workplace issues, rather than focussing solely on their ADD symptoms - as these other aspects have an effect on how effective different techniques will be.
This is still a useful book, even though it's almost 10 years old.
