We love the simplicity of the Working Genius. Listen to Pat share why the model is unique and what each genius brings to the table.
The 3 Stages of Work
One of the biggest discoveries with Working Genius was the importance of the 3 stages of work, with one, in particular, often overlooked. Hear Pat’s overview of each stage in this quick video.
The Categories
Working Genius is about joy and fulfillment. This video addresses the relevance of the 2-2-2 breakdown for Genius, Competency and Frustration.
The Altitude of Geniuses
Hear Pat’s analogy in illustrating how each genius operates at different altitudes and why each altitude is necessary in the process of work.
Responsive vs. Disruptive
The responsive or disruptive natures of each genius help us understand how people engage with work and with one another. The conversation about these types brings clarity to interpersonal dynamics and the stages of work.
Guilt and Judgement
One of the biggest impacts of the Working Genius is that it creates an understanding for why some people don’t enjoy or aren’t necessarily skilled in certain things. Pat shares how WG has created relief for people surrounding their weaknesses and alleviated misunderstandings and judgement towards others.
Burnout
Working Genius is founded upon the idea that people’s energy and joy can be tied to the type of work they are doing. As a result, we discovered a correlation with Burnout. Hear Pat discuss why burnout is sometimes mis-diagnosed.
