Has your team lost its spark working remotely? As our modern workforce becomes increasingly reliant on remote setups, we’re also witnessing the pitfalls of reducing human interaction and its impact on organizational health.
The human touch is vital for fueling creativity and collaboration, and to champion office presence along with a better comprehension of individual strengths is our distinguished guest — Patrick Lencioni.
Patrick is one of the founders of The Table Group and a best-selling author of 13 books, including the latest, “The 6 Types of Working Genius.” His books have been translated into 30 languages, with over 8 million copies sold worldwide, and he’s one of the most in-demand speakers in America.

From the origins of the Working Genius assessment to how we can leverage our individual talents to prevent burnout, this episode is a must-listen for leaders seeking to optimize their workplace performance.
