A diagram illustrating the thematic map of ADHDers' experiences of work relationships. The diagram consists of four interconnected themes. Theme 1, labeled 'Need for Flexibility,' is positioned at the top and indicates that flexibility enables autonomy, cognitive alignment, self-efficacy, and goal attainment. Theme 2, labeled 'Supportive/informal work relationships,' is located at the bottom left and shows that supportive relationships strengthen self-efficacy, authentic self-expression, and goal attainment. Theme 3, labeled 'Formal/rigid work relationships,' is situated at the bottom right and indicates that formal relationships undermine self-efficacy, self-expression, and engagement. Theme 4, labeled 'Relational Leadership style,' is placed at the bottom center and suggests that relational leadership turns lived experience into enabling relationships.Thematic map of ADHDers' experiences of work relationships.
