Module 3 Checkpoint

You have completed Module 3: If you manage someone autistic. Answer these four questions to confirm your understanding.

Which three dimensions of an effective manager job does The Management Center name?

Correct. Equitable, Sustainable, Results-driven: and all three matter more on a neurodiverse team. The Management Center names Equitable, Sustainable, and Results-driven. Drop any leg and the stool falls.

What is the single highest-leverage manager practice on a neurodiverse team?

Correct. Weekly, written, stable, with sustainability-check. Everything else is downstream of this practice. The weekly 1:1 with a written agenda, stable cadence, and standing sustainability-check is the practice. Most other manager work is downstream of it.

Which is the most useful way to write 'what success looks like' for a new role?

Correct. Specific, observable, dated, with examples. Examples carry more information than rules. Three specific 90-day outcomes, with examples, is the right altitude. Vague missions, long competency lists, and 'be excellent' all leave the report guessing.

Which of the following is a tone-coded piece of feedback to avoid?

Correct. 'Came across a bit harsh' is feedback about your reaction, not the work. Address the work first. Tone-coded feedback ('came across a bit harsh') is about your reaction, not the work. The other three options address specific, observable work.
