This is an important recognition from Dr Pooky Knightsmith, if we recognised this more widely then neurodivergent individuals would be understood and appreciated more.

Perhaps for real ethical leadership we should adopt this way of thinking as a default for us all?

It's about how their brain processes justice.

For many autistic people, fairness works more like logic than preference. When something doesn't add up, it creates an unresolved problem. An open loop. And until that loop closes, the brain keeps returning to it.

"Water under the bridge" works for a lot of people because it provides just enough closure to file the thing away. For many autistic people, it doesn't. The logical error is still there. Nothing has actually been resolved.

This also connects to monotropism. Many autistic minds focus deeply on one thing at a time. When that one thing is an injustice, it can take up all available mental space. Not because they're choosing to dwell. Because the loop is genuinely still open.

Three things worth knowing:
 1. Moving on without resolution isn't just difficult. It can feel morally wrong.
 2. This isn't stubbornness. It's a brain doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
 3. "Just let it go" isn't a solution. Genuine acknowledgment is.

When pressure changes how authority, alignment and accountability operate, performance eventually wobbles.

This Maverick Edge sets out why that shift isn’t developmental - it’s structural.

Over the past few months I’ve been quieter. A few people have asked if I’m okay. (Thank you). I am. I’ve been building. Specifically, I’ve been formal

Pressure isn’t breaking leadership. It’s distorting it.

One of the most common frustrations I hear from business owners is this:

“I’m doing the work… but clients still hesitate.”

They ask for more information.
They negotiate.
They say they’ll “think about it”.

So the usual advice appears:

Raise your prices.
Invest more money.
Increase visibility.
Take bigger risks.

But what if the real issue isn’t financial risk…

What if your influence is leaking revenue?

On 25 March I’ll be speaking at Jackie Groundsell’s The  Evolution of Finance for Businesswomen+ event about the influence patterns I see repeatedly when revenue feels unstable - and why clients commit confidently in some businesses but stall in others.

If you’re a business owner whose effort isn’t converting as cleanly as it should, this conversation will resonate.

I’ll share a few of the patterns I see most often when commercial traction quietly starts to drift.

Senior leaders are overwhelmed - but not always for the reasons we assume.

When authority begins to travel upward under pressure, executive saturation is often a structural signal, not a capability gap. 

This week’s article explores the hidden cost of that shift - and why recalibration, not more development alone, may be the missing step.

Not because they lack resilience. Not because they lack capability. And not always because the workload is objectively unreasonable. In many organisat

Everyone agrees. The meetings are constructive. The strategy is clear.
So why do the same conversations keep returning in leadership teams?

How agreement, respect and constructive meetings can quietly slow execution. A senior leader said something to me recently that stayed with me. “Every

A pattern I keep seeing inside leadership teams

Senior leaders don’t usually stop delegating because they want control.

They stop because they no longer trust accountability to hold.

In recent conversations with HR Directors and Chief People & Culture Officers, a familiar frustration keeps surfacing: “We’ve tried everything. Training. Coaching. Performance objectives. Nothing shifts.”

What if the issue isn’t capability at all - but a leadership system quietly compensating under pressure?

In more than one recent conversation, HR Directors and Chief People & Culture Officers have said the same thing: “No one holds people accountable.” “W

When senior leaders no longer trust accountability

Some leadership ideas don’t start as articles.
They start in conversations.

Over the years, a few of those conversations have stayed with me.

Some leadership ideas don’t start as articles. They start in conversations. “We’ve got good people. Capability isn’t the issue. But somehow decisions
