The Deep Dish

Work Well with All Types of People


Listen Later

Melissa Kruger and Courtney Doctor talk with their colleague Ann Westrate about how understanding each others’ gifts has enhanced their work as a team. They talk about how much the Working Genius assessment helped them understand why what might be easy for one of them is hard for someone else. Understanding what different gifts are represented in a team can enhance morale and strengthen relationships. We all have gifts, but none of us have all the gifts.

Discussion Questions:

  1. What gifts or abilities have others recognized or affirmed in you? How has God given you opportunities to use and develop those?
  2. While this episode focused on the Working Genius, there are many assessments available to help you understand the way you work and interact with others. If you have taken any, how have your results been helpful to you?
  3. In what ways have you struggled with envy of other peoples’ giftedness? 
  4. How do you see your own strengths as an essential part of the body’s functioning? Where do you feel called to invest your talents in new ways (or to continue using them)?
  5. If you are a parent, how do you see your giftedness impact the way you serve your family in this season of life?
  6. Who in your work, church, or family needs to have their giftedness recognized and affirmed? How is God calling you to encourage that person or those people?
