“The future of business belongs to organizations that can see talent differently. In 20% Smarter, David Flink makes a compelling case that neurodivergent thinkers are not simply people to include, but a source of insight, innovation, and competitive advantage. Drawing on research, real-world examples, and his own remarkable journey, David challenges leaders to rethink how they identify and develop talent. This is an important book for anyone building the workforce of the future."—Niren Chaudhary, former CEO of Panera Bread

Drawing on evidence from neuroscience, research, and examples from exceptional organizations, David Flink reveals how autism, ADHD, and dyslexia bring distinct talents to the workplace. Every founder, executive, and manager who wants to build a stronger organization should read this book."—Logan Green, co-founder and former CEO, Lyft
