Gone are the days, when people from a limited geographical expanse or similar characteristics used to work together. Workplaces these days are made up of diverse personalities. Everyone has their own unique set of traits, skill sets and aspirations. Working with culturally and emotionally different people is the new normal. Also, conflicting personality traits are something that trouble the employers of every organization as it often leads to conflict amongst the employees of an organization. The most common form of conflict is between neurodivergent and neurotypical people. Neurotypical people are capable and focused in one particular field or area of strength. They like to operate in a planned manner. Neurodivergent people like to change their focus from time and time and are often viewed as problematic.

However, both these sets of people can co-exist and add immense value to any organization. A leading example of how a neurodivergent personality can succeed and contribute in the workplace is the famous author John Leonard Hart III.
