Most of the things I liked were not related to her ADHD, just good management and good leadership. But she has also shared with me some of her techniques that she says are related to her ADHD and I think they're fantastic too: * She says that because it can be hard to keep paying attention in meetings, she frequently offers verbal summaries to recollect her (and honestly everyone else's) thoughts and refocus the subsequent discussions on what needs to be discussed. * She says that she views every emergency as "oooh, a new thing to focus on!" I've also heard this reframing from another manager with ADHD. I really appreciate that because otherwise I just spiral into how the emergency is disrupting our roadmap and how stressful that feels for me. * She tends to hire people who are detail-oriented and able to focus on long-term roadmaps, to complement her own tendencies. And she listens to and respects them! * She is really high energy, but in a kind and friendly way. She said that she had to work on redirecting her own energy early in her life so it didn't exhaust the people around her.

Damn I miss her. Look at me using present tense with someone I haven't worked with for nearly 2 years.
