Unlock better team communication and self-awareness with the Working Genius framework. In this episode, we break down the 6 types and how understanding your genius can change the way you lead and collaborate.

What if understanding how you work best could completely transform how your team works together?

If you're a new manager trying to lead with confidence, delegate effectively, and reduce frustration on your team, the Working Genius model by Patrick Lencioni might be the missing link. Tessa Kampen joins me for a breakdown of all six types—Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity—and why knowing your genius (and your team’s) can instantly improve communication, morale, and productivity.

We also dive into how this framework helps eliminate guilt, reduces judgment on your team, and gives you the language to advocate for what lights you up at work.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll discover:

• How to identify your Genius, Competency, and Frustration—and why it matters
• Why teams struggle to execute great ideas—and what to do about it
• What to say when someone’s working style drives you just a little nuts
