They explain how people often misjudge each other's actions as flaws rather than features of their unique Working Genius.

Why is it dangerous to "fake it till you make it" when it comes to your Working Genius?In episode 85 of the Working Genius Podcast, Pat and Cody explore the pitfalls of "faking it till you make it," particularly in the context of the six Working Geniuses. They discuss how pretending to possess certain geniuses—especially Galvanizing, Enabling, and Tenacity—can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction, even if it seems successful in the short term. They also emphasize the importance of aligning work with your natural geniuses for long-term fulfillment and success. Topics explored in this episode: (00:51) Faking It Undermines Team Trust* Faking a role outside your genius may temporarily fool others but drains energy and joy.(3:48) When Observation Misleads* People often mistake visible productivity for true capability and fulfillment.* Internal processes like Discerning or Inventing can't be copied just by watching someone do the work.(7:36) Success in the Wrong Game* Achieving mastery in an area outside your genius often leads to burnout, not true fulfillment.* Mimicking Tenacity or Enablement might bring professional praise but leaves people feeling empty.(11:24) Misalignment at Work* Many early career roles overvalue G.E.T. work, unintentionally alienating people with W.I.D. geniuses.* Discovering the Working Genius framework helps reframe these challenges as fixable, not personal flaws.(15:12) The Cost of Faking It* People often carry unnecessary guilt when they struggle in roles that don't match their genius.* Leaders can free people from burnout by helping them realign with their natural gifts.A note for new listeners/viewers: In this episode, Pat and Cody dive deep into the Six Types of Working Genius, a model that helps you discover your natural gifts and thrive in your work and life.

In this episode, Dr. Laura Sicola interviews Patrick Lencioni, author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The Six Types of Working Genius. They discuss the importance of trust, vulnerability, and conflict in teams, as well as the six types of working genius. Patrick shares personal experiences and insights, providing valuable advice for effective communication and leadership. The conversation explores the five dysfunctions of a team, emphasizing the importance of trust, healthy conflict, commitment, accountability, and attention to results. It also delves into the significance of effective communication, vulnerability, and understanding individual working genius. Pat also shares insights on team dynamics, leadership, and the impact of dysfunctional behaviors on organizational success. In this episode you will learn: Trust and vulnerability are essential for effective team communication and collaboration. Conflict avoidance can hinder team progress and innovation. Constructive conflict is necessary for growth and improvement. Understanding the six types of working genius can help individuals and teams leverage their strengths and work together more effectively. Trust is the foundation of effective teamwork, and without it, healthy conflict and commitment cannot thrive. Healthy conflict is necessary for teams to address issues openly and make decisions that everyone can commit to. Lack of commitment leads to passive agreement, which results in a lack of accountability and inattention to results. Avoidance of accountability hinders team performance and requires peers to hold each other accountable for behaviors and commitments. Inattention to results occurs when individuals prioritize their department's success over the collective success of the organization, leading to dysfunctional team dynamics.   About Patrick: Pat is one of the founders of The Table Group and is the pioneer of the organizational health movement.

The six types of working genius are wonder, invention, discernment, galvanizing, enablement, and tenacity. Wonderers ask questions and ponder new ideas, while inventors come up with new ideas and solutions. Discerners evaluate ideas and have great pattern recognition instinct. Galvanizers rally the troops and inspire others, while enablers answer the call for help and support. Tenacious individuals plow through obstacles and finish tasks. Both disruptive and responsive geniuses are needed in a team. IGs (Invention and Galvanizing) are naturally excited about new ideas and enjoy sharing them. IDs (Invention and Discernment) evaluate and edit ideas as they come up with them. Understanding and celebrating each other's geniuses can lead to a more productive and joyful team. An ideal day for an ID might involve coming up with new ideas and having coaching conversations. An ideal day for an IG might involve launching new ideas and getting people excited about them.

We're back in class, ladies!  Once again, Sarah's sharing study notes from her graduate courses at Concordia University Irvine's Townsend Institute for Counseling and Leadership. In this insightful episode, she covers:  How great teamwork skills relate to the Body of Christ  Pat Lencioni's Working Genius model for productivity  How a productivity model applies to everything from marriage, to church council, to homeschool co-ops  "I think the most beautiful part about this is how Lencioni frames the [Working Genius] model,” Sarah says. “He specifically talks about the geniuses as the things God has gifted you to do, how He has wired you. I've talked about this before in several places, about recognizing the gifts God has given and not given to us, and using those gifts to the best of our abilities. This fits so beautifully with our description of the Body of Christ, that each of us in individually gifted with ways to serve each other within the unity of the Body. So this assessment gives us insight into how God has wired us so we can lean into the spaces that are our strengths, and uplift others in the spaces that are not our strengths but someone else's strength.”    Find the Working Genius podcast, book, assessment, and insights at workinggenius.com.  For even more from Pat Lencioni, including the Table Group podcast, visit tablegroup.com.  Click to learn more about CUI's Townsend Institute for Counseling and Leadership.    Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

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.   You can take your assessment here: https://www.workinggenius.com/about/assessment In this episode you will hear:  00:00 Intro 04:20 Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group 08:00 Vulnerability Based Trust – 5 Dysfunctions of a Team 15:00 The 6 Types of Working Genius origin story 22:50 Why most teams fail to bring the genius out of people 25:20 The working genius model 28:45 The six geniuses 32:00 Team Hartley's Working Genius profile 47:00 The cross sector impact of working genius 54:15 Faith and healing wounds 57:25 Patrick's Heartprint   Those with ears, let them hear.
