For two decades, Patrick Lencioni bounced between excitement and frustration at work. Driven to understand the root of his frustration, he discovered that while there are six types of work, he only truly enjoyed two. This insight led to the creation of the Working Genius model. Recognizing its universal value, Patrick and his team developed an assessment to help individuals and teams identify their natural strengths and focus on the work that energizes them. In this episode, Patrick reveals how understanding your Working Genius can transform your approach to work, prevent burnout, and boost productivity.
