We all know that getting culture right is an absolute must at any organization. But sometimes the stakes are higher than just a potential loss of motivation or high turnover. For example, when poor work cultures intersect with poor safety cultures, lives can be at risk. In episode 164 of HR Works Podcast, we talk about the space shuttle Columbia disaster, a fatal incident in the U.S. space program. On February 1, 2003, the space shuttle exploded as it reentered the atmosphere, killing all seven crew members. After an investigation, the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) found that NASA’s organizational culture was as much to blame for the explosion as technical difficulties. Today’s guest is Dr. Phillip Meade, co-owner and COO of Gallaher Edge. Dr. Meade is also co-author of the upcoming book, The Missing Links: Launching a High Performing Company Culture, which is set in the aftermath of the Columbia shuttle disaster.

According to experts, the number of adults with ADHD is between 8 and 9 million. Although we can’t say for sure what the numbers are among the workforce, but it is likely you have employees with ADHD – and if you don’t, you will. ADHD is one of those things that is vastly misunderstood and poorly portrayed in the media. And even the name itself poorly describes what ADHD is and what it is really like. In addition to being misunderstood, individuals with ADHD routinely have difficulty with employment, and those difficulties can mask their natural capabilities. In our latest installment of HR Works Podcast, our guest is an advocate and disability expert with a lot to say on the subject. Please take a listen in to learn symptoms of adults with ADHD, how to help them better focus at work, get organized, and more. We are pleased to have Dr. J. Russell Ramsey, Co-Director of Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology in Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
