The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni

For any project, all 6 Types of Working Genius are necessary, so what does it look like when a team is underrepresented in a certain area?  This week, Pat, Cody and Tracy talk about each individual Genius, and where teams get stuck without them.  

For some reason, many of us tend to view other peoples' Working Geniuses as more important or more impressive than our own.  This week, the team talks about the unique merits of each Genius, and how much more appreciative we are of others when we realize the true value of our own strengths.  

So the members of your team have taken the assessment... how do you then measure its impact?  This week, Pat, Cody and Tracy discuss what success looks like when using the Working Genius model.  

This week, the team sits down with a good friend who happens to be one of Pat's favorite 'creative dreamers'.  Tune in to hear how Chris' Wonder and Invention impact his role as a leader.  

We all tell ourselves that we should be better at certain aspects of our work or in certain areas of our life.  However, if we aren't naturally inclined to enjoy and thrive within those areas, to 'should' on ourselves is a recipe for unnecessary guilt and shame.  

The Six Types of Working Genius is a strikingly simple model, yet there is an almost overwhelming amount of depth in its application.  So where's the hook?  This week, the team describes what we believe to be the most effective 'elevator pitch' for the Working Genius assessment.  

Buckle up!  This week, the Working Genius team reveals all of the pairings in our longest episode yet.  

Learn how the Working Genius model applies to parenting. Embrace and leverage your strengths as a parent. Find creative solutions to balance work and family dynamics. Appreciate the sense of wonder in parenting. Apply the working genius model to understand and support children's strengths.

In previous episodes, we've talked about the altitude of each Genius, the 3 stages of work, regulating your Genius, and the Genius of meetings.  What do you get when you roll all of these concepts together?  A new Working Genius framework that applies to any conversation at work.  

Perhaps the most immediate benefit of the Working Genius model is how it allows us to overcome the fundamental attribution error.  This week, Pat, Cody and Tracy discuss how we can replace judgement and toxicity on our teams with understanding and grace.
