What would happen if your team was challenged to do something ridiculous on purpose?In episode 271 of At The Table, Pat, Cody, and Matthew share the story of a risky, creative experiment from The Table Group's annual consulting conference in Franklin, Tennessee. After giving teams one hour and $400 to create something ridiculous, outlandish, and loosely connected to organizational health, they watched their consultants produce original songs, recognize an ideal team player, rent an eight-foot tree, and even paint The Table Group office. The conversation reveals how time constraints, trust, risk, and freedom can unlock creativity in ways that careful planning often cannot.Topics explored in this episode: (00:00) The Power Of Limited TimePat introduces the idea that limiting time can actually increase innovation, creativity, and execution.Cody explains the purpose of The Table Group's annual consulting conference and how the team wanted to create a short but meaningful offsite experience.(04:03) One Hour, $400, And A Ridiculous ChallengePat and Cody describe the challenge: teams had one hour, $400, and a goal to create the most ridiculous, creative idea possible.They reflect on how quickly the consultants moved through the Working Genius process, from wonder and invention to discernment, galvanizing, enablement, and tenacity.(05:47) Recognizing An Ideal Team PlayerOne team went to the hotel manager, taught the Ideal Team Player model, and asked her to identify someone on staff who embodied humble, hungry, and smart.The team honored the chosen employee with gifts, cake, and a standing ovation from the consultants.(08:03) Songs, Trees, And Creative ChaosAnother team found a musician at a coffee shop and paid her to write and perform an original song about The Table Group in one hour.A different team rented an eight-foot tree as a callback to the “Plant Your Friggin Tree” episode and turned it into a memorable symbol of action and urgency.(13:25) The Office Painting RiskOne team secretly entered The Table Group office and painted Matt's podcast room red with references to the Five Dysfunctions, the Advantage model, and the Ideal Team Player.Pat, Cody, and Matt reflect on how the experiment proved that trust, risk, fun, and people-centered experiences can make business conversations more effective.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

Dave Crysler sits down with Greg Harrod, a 30-year manufacturing leader and Certified Working Genius facilitator, to unpack a pattern that quietly drains operations teams: the most dependable person on the floor is often the closest to burnout. Because leaders trust their best people, they keep handing them more, until reliable becomes overloaded and the resignation nobody saw coming lands on the desk. Greg and Dave dig into why it happens, the early warning signs most leaders miss, and how to redistribute ownership without lowering standards or sacrificing accountability. What You'll Discover: • Why the people you trust most are the ones you unknowingly push toward burnout • The difference between being good at the work and being energized by it, and why it matters • A simple two-question check that surfaces burnout before a resignation does • How "just because you can doesn't mean you should" reshapes the way you assign work • The early warning signs that a dependable person is running out of road • Why overload is almost always a clarity problem, not a people problem • How to redistribute work across a team without lowering standards or accountability • The story behind the Working Genius model and what it reveals about overloaded leaders • What to actually do Monday morning if you recognize one of these people on your team If you've got a go-to person who never drops the ball, this conversation is your early warning system. Greg and Dave give you the language and the questions to spot the strain before it costs you your best person. Greg's Leadership Clarity Scorecard is a ten-minute starting point you can find at leadershipclarityscorecard.com.

What kind of work are you trying to master even though it consistently drains you?In episode 115 of the Working Genius Podcast, Pat and Cody explore why people should not try to become great at their Working Frustrations. They explain how spending too much time in draining work can create a “work allergy,” making people resistant even to small, necessary doses of that work later on. The conversation encourages listeners to honor their natural gifts, avoid proving themselves through frustrating work, and practice moderation when unavoidable tasks arise.Topics explored in this episode: (00:00) Why Frustrations Shouldn't Become GoalsPat explains why people should not try to become excellent at the types of work that frustrate them.He argues that mastering frustrating work takes energy away from the gifts and competencies people are actually meant to develop.(02:03) The Cost of Getting Good at What You HatePat lays out several reasons why becoming good at a frustration can backfire, including sending the wrong message to others.Cody adds that trying to compete in someone else's area of genius can create isolation instead of connection.(05:58) Pat's Personal Work AllergyPat shares how years of forcing himself into tenacity and enablement created an aversion to discipline.He compares the experience to being forced to eat vegetables constantly and then resisting them entirely later in life.(08:34) Burnout, Exposure, and AversionCody connects the idea of work allergies to allergy treatment, explaining that small exposure can be helpful but overexposure can make aversion worse.Pat uses a basketball analogy to show how being forced into an unwanted role can make someone reject even small, necessary parts of that role later.(12:01) Finding Moderation and Honoring GiftsCody notes that every job involves all six types of work, which means people will still need to do some tasks that fall outside their genius.Pat closes by encouraging listeners not to feel guilty for doing what comes naturally and to find moderation rather than overcorrecting.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

Burnout isn't just a personal problem — it's a systemic one, and right now it's affecting nearly everyone, everywhere, all at once. In this host episode of Uncover the Human, Cristina Amigoni and Alex Cullimore dig into why burnout has gone from an occupational hazard in high-pressure industries to a near-universal experience. They trace the roots of this moment — stagnating wages, constant organizational churn, a loss of community — and make the case that AI adoption, handled recklessly, is pouring accelerant on an already burning fire. The fear of replacement, the pressure to adopt tools without clear direction, and the quiet grief of watching companies replace people rather than grow them are all adding emotional weight that workers are being asked to carry alone.But the conversation doesn't stop at the diagnosis. Cristina and Alex share two frameworks they regularly use with leaders and teams to address burnout at its source: values alignment (checking whether personal ethics are being quietly compromised at work) and Working Genius (helping teams distribute work in ways that energize rather than drain). They also introduce Siamo on the DL, a monthly space for leaders to connect and talk honestly about the struggles that are hard to name inside an organization. If you've been feeling like you're running on empty and aren't sure why — or you're a leader trying to figure out how to actually help your people — this episode is worth your time.

What would change if your team focused more on talents than job descriptions?In episode 114 of the Working Genius Podcast, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explore why leadership roles cannot be reduced to generic titles or one-size-fits-all job descriptions. They explain how Working Genius helps leaders understand their own wiring, build around their gaps, and stop assuming that every CEO, COO, or team member should operate the same way. The conversation ultimately points teams toward collective accountability, where tasks are divided according to talent but ownership remains shared.Topics explored in this episode: (00:00) Divide The Work, Not The TeamPat argues that “divide and conquer” should mean dividing tasks based on talent, not dividing the organization or accountability.How teams work best when they share a single goal and draw on different talents to pursue it together.(02:08) Why Every CEO Is DifferentPat explains that every CEO brings a different combination of personality, wiring, and Working Genius to the role.Cody points out that people often ask for the best Working Genius type for a leader, but the real answer is self-awareness.(06:43) Hiring Around Your GapsPat explains that leaders should hire executives and team members who complement their natural strengths rather than duplicate them.Cody and Pat discuss how titles like CEO, COO, and CMO can become too generic if they ignore the specific way each person contributes.(11:26) Collective Accountability Over SilosPat says titles may be useful externally, but internally, teams should focus more on how people's talents help the organization win together.Cody connects this idea to team number one, explaining that Working Genius helps executive teams move beyond self-protection and into shared responsibility.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

Episode Summary In this deeply reflective conversation, host Gary Pinkerton is joined by Dale Young—business coach, author, and leadership mentor—and Paul Seitz, former nuclear submarine commander and financial stewardship advocate, for an exploration of faith, purpose, leadership, and business alignment. The episode centers around Dale Young's book, The Power of Aligning Faith and Business, and examines how entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals can discover their God-given calling while building meaningful businesses and lives. Drawing from decades of leadership experience, personal spiritual growth, military service, coaching, and entrepreneurship, the conversation explores the intersection of identity, purpose, stewardship, and success. Dale shares his journey from a late-life Christian awakening to discovering his calling as a coach helping people uncover their unique gifts and align them with meaningful work. He introduces concepts from his coaching framework, including the "Triad of Significant Impact" — identity, community, and calling — and explains how tools like CliftonStrengths and Working Genius can help people discover their natural talents. Paul Seitz reflects on lessons learned from submarine leadership, family life, financial stewardship, and faith. He discusses the importance of daily spiritual alignment, giving the "first fruits" of the day to God, and allowing one's natural gifts to guide purpose and service. Gary contributes personal reflections about business ownership, self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and spiritual maturity, emphasizing how discovering one's talents can ultimately lead to creating impact at scale through leadership and business. Together, the three discuss: How people discover their purpose and calling The importance of daily alignment with God Leadership rooted in faith rather than pressure or control Why many business owners feel isolated and disconnected The role of stewardship in finances and life How joy and energy reveal alignment with one's gifts The concept of "complete and aligned success" Why entrepreneurship can be a vehicle for service and impact The episode is both philosophical and practical, offering listeners a roadmap for discovering deeper meaning in their work while building businesses and lives grounded in faith, joy, peace, and purpose.

Why do traditional “fun at work” solutions often fall short?In episode 112 of the Working Genius Podcast, Patrick Lencioni, Cody Thompson, and Matthew Lencioni discuss the idea of fun at work, arguing that real enjoyment comes from operating within your Working Genius rather than relying on perks or surface-level incentives. Pat and Cody explore how different people experience the same activity in different ways based on their strengths, and how this applies across work, hobbies, and even vacations. Leaders who align roles with natural energy unlock not only better performance but a more joyful and engaged team.Topics explored in this episode: (00:00) Why fun at work mattersFun at work is often misunderstood as perks rather than meaningful engagement.Working in your genius makes time feel faster and work more enjoyable.(03:02) How Working Genius shapes enjoymentTeams naturally enjoy work more when roles align with strengths.Misalignment leads to frustration and removes the sense of fun.(06:16) The problem with surface-level funCompanies often try to add fun outside of work instead of within it.True engagement comes from making the work itself energizing.(10:25) Why activities feel fun to some but not othersThe same activity can feel energizing or painful depending on the person.Working Genius explains why people experience identical tasks differently.(15:48) Designing teams around energy and strengthsTeams perform better when work is divided based on what energizes individuals.Leaders should prioritize alignment over rigid job descriptions.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

Big Idea Healthy churches are not defined by programs or personalities—but by clarity, culture, and conversations. Coaching provides the mindset and structure that helps churches rediscover purpose, develop leaders, and navigate change. Episode Flow & Key Themes 1. The State of the Church Today The church is a mixed bag: Thriving churches: Clear purpose and identity Spiritually grounded Balanced leadership (pastor + laity) Willing to experiment Struggling churches: Operate from scarcity, anxiety, nostalgia Avoid change Lack deep relationships Drift toward apathy or conflict Key Insight: Clarity + courage to adapt separates healthy churches from declining ones. 2. The Shift: From Center to Margin Church is no longer at the center of culture Now operating at the edges Reframe: This is not just a loss—it's an opportunity The church may actually function more faithfully at the margins 3. Why Churches Need Coaching Coaching helps churches move from: Reaction → Intention Maintenance → Development Activity → Clarity 4. Three Key Areas Coaching Transforms A. Leadership Development (Pipeline Thinking) Many churches rely on the same people in the same roles Coaching helps: Identify emerging leaders Develop people before they're "ready" Increase engagement and ownership Shift: From "holding roles" → to developing people B. Clarity of Identity (Purpose, Values, Vision) Most churches lack clarity on: Why they exist Who they're trying to reach What they uniquely offer Coaching Questions: What brought you here? What keeps you here? Deeper Insight: Surface answers: habit, family, invitation Deeper answers: "I recognized Jesus here" "My gifts were called out" "I connected faith with real life" Key Idea: Clarity fuels everything—leadership, outreach, decisions. C. Conflict & Healthy Conversations Conflict is inevitable because people are different Coaching provides tools to: Build trust and safety Listen deeply Surface real issues Disagree in healthy ways Important Distinction: Coaching ≠ mediation But coaching creates the environment where resolution is possible 5. The Power of Agreements (Culture Design) Every healthy team needs a clear agreement or covenant Includes: Expected behaviors Shared values Accountability Shift: From "unspoken expectations" → to shared ownership of culture 6. A Coaching Insight on Church Growth Many churches say: "We want young families" But that's vague and often unhelpful Better approach: Understand who you are first Then identify who you're uniquely called to reach Key Line: You can't find "the lost" if your definition is "anyone." 7. The Role of Self-Awareness Tools like Working Genius or Myers-Briggs reveal: Why people think differently Why conflict happens Awareness creates understanding instead of frustration 8. Final Hope for the Church To be a faithful witness to Jesus Not just about eternity—but about: Bringing heaven to earth Living out faith in real, tangible ways Vision: A church that reflects: Love Clarity Alignment Shared mission Key Takeaways Coaching helps churches move forward with clarity instead of fear Leadership development is essential—not optional Most churches don't need more people—they need better alignment Healthy culture is built intentionally, not accidentally The future church will thrive through: clarity adaptability meaningful conversations

Leadership does not live in books, job titles, or good intentions. It's a daily practice. What does your daily leadership practice look like? Caryn O'Sullivan, CEO and founder of Drapery Street, joins me to share how she practices leadership, and what that means for you, your team, and your business.

What does your Working Genius look like when you're under stress, and would you even recognize it in yourself?In episode 110 of the Working Genius Podcast, Pat Lencioni, Cody Thompson, and Matt Lynch explore what happens to each of the six Working Genius types when they're under stress, a state they call being "in the grip." Walking through Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity letter by letter, the team uncovers how each type's greatest strengths can become their most challenging behaviors when unregulated. The conversation closes with a practical and compassionate framework for extending grace to teammates in the grip, recognizing that what looks like a flaw may simply be a strength operating under too much pressure.Topics explored in this episode: Pat, Cody, and Matt introduce "in the grip" — what each Working Genius type looks like when strengths become distorted under stress.The team explores the Wonder type, revealing how natural curiosity can spiral into analysis paralysis, endless questioning, and loss of direction.(00:00:03) Wonder in the GripPat, Cody, and Matt introduce "in the grip,” what each Working Genius type looks like when strengths become distorted under stress.The team explores the Wonder type, revealing how natural curiosity can spiral into analysis paralysis, endless questioning, and loss of direction.(00:05:15) ADHD, Procrastination, and Invention in the GripPat connects Wonder under stress to procrastination and ADHD misdiagnosis.The team turns to Invention, describing how the drive to generate ideas becomes chaotic under stress.(00:09:46) Discernment and Galvanizing Under PressureThe group unpacks Discernment in the grip, how the healthy instinct to evaluate ideas can tip into hypercriticism, cynicism, and judgment under stress.They move to Galvanizing, exploring how the drive to inspire movement can turn into pushiness and impatience when stress takes hold.(00:15:41) Enablement and Tenacity When UnregulatedThe team explores Enablement in the grip, how the instinct to help can lead to overcommitment, exhaustion, and quiet resentment when the enabler's own needs go unmet.They turn to Tenacity, noting how discipline and follow-through can slide into rigidity, isolation, and frustration with those perceived as lazy or uncommitted.(00:20:28) Applying This to Teams, Pairings, and ClosingPat, Cody, and Matt explore how genius pairs stop working together under stress, and how leaders can use this framework to start grace-filled conversations with struggling team members.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

Everyone tends to fall into one of two patterns: thinking or doing. In this conversation, Pat Lencioni explores the tension between visionaries and doers and why some people generate ideas but struggle to act, while others execute but lack direction. More importantly, he breaks down why real progress requires both. This isn't just about business, but it's about how we all approach work, goals, and life. Why do we get stuck even when we know what to do? And what actually helps us move forward? We hope you enjoy this one with Pat Lencioni and make sure to check out his books!
