Episode notes

On episode 256 I am joined by Patrick Lencioni.

For twenty-five years, Patrick Lencioni has been working with teams to help them become more cohesive, effective and successful. In 1997, he founded the Table Group, a firm dedicated to making organizations healthier and work more dignifying.

Pat has written 13 best-selling business books on the topics of teamwork, leadership and culture (including The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Advantage, and The Ideal Team Player) which have sold over 8 million copies and been translated into more than 30 languages.

In 2020, Pat began to question why he occasionally felt drained and frustrated in his own job and, in the process of figuring out why, Working Genius was born.

Since that time, Working Genius has helped hundreds of thousands of individuals and teams discover their gifts and transform their work.

The 6 types of Working Genius is a new model that helps people discover their natural gifts and thrive in their work and life.

Working Genius identifies the six fundamental activities that are required for any type of work and provides a simple framework for how work gets done.

Working Genius is changing the way people are thinking about their work and teams, and is leading to more dignified, fulfilled and successful work.
