1135: Patrick Lencioni on How to Identify Your Gifts for More Energizing Work Days

We have to stop trying to prove that we're going to be good at things that we're not meant to be good at. So to be awesome at your job, find a job that you can be awesome at. And it probably already exists in the organization you're in. Burnout is not about you working too much. Some people can get burned out just because of the word they're working out, but 98% of the time it's not about the hours you're working.

It's about the nature of the work you do. That's Pat Lincioni. He's best known as the author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and many other classic business books. And today, he's here to share powerful insights from his book, The Six Types of Working Genius, a better way to understand your gifts, frustrations, and your team. Pat also hooked us up with a 20% off discount for his renowned working genius assessment with the code AWSE, which is pretty cool.

So you'll learn one, how to stop feeling ashamed of your weaknesses, two, the six types of working genius, and three, the real reason why so many professionals are burning out. And if you want a quick summary write-up of these actionable takeaways, the ways that Pat shared, I recommend you mosey over to awesomeatyourjob.com and sign up for the free gold nugget email newsletter.
