Episode notes

For years, I thought something was wrong with me. Why was I so energized by vision and ideas, but completely drained by details and follow-through? In this episode, I sit down with leadership expert Patrick Lencioni to talk about the framework that finally gave me language for what I’d felt my entire life. Pat breaks down the 6 types of working genius and shares why burnout isn’t caused by working too hard, how most of us grow up believing we’re lazy, behind, or not cut out for leadership when in reality, we’re just trying to operate outside of how we’re wired. Tune in to learn why certain tasks light you up while others exhaust you, and how to build a business and life that works for you.

This episode is brought to you in partnership with Working Genius.
