From Busy to Rich

S5E5- The Stories We Tell Ourselves: “Working Genius”


Listen Later

Every individual has a unique mix of personality, skills, and experiences. With that mix, people develop natural proclivities towards different aspects of the business operations process. Unfortunately, due to a lack of understanding in this area people often find themselves in a role that includes few or even none of the types of activities that they derive energy from doing. In today’s episode Wes, Andy, and Justin will dive into the working genius assessment tool from the author and creator of The 6 Types of Working Genius - Patrick Lencioni, to better understand how this tool can help increase your and your client’s profitability and quality of life.  

In today’s episode we will cover:

  • The 6 types of working genius
  • How the assessment tool works
  • Why understanding the types of working genius, which employees have which type, and where they fit into the process is so important
  • Examples of how to practically implement the take away from the working genius assessment
  • Self-awareness is a trait - or 'practice' is the more accurate way to put it - that everyone can always improve at. It is part emotional intelligence, part perceptiveness, and part critical thinking. It means knowing your weaknesses, of course, but it also means knowing your strengths and what motivates you.     -Neil Blumenthal
