On this episode of the Lead Culture Podcast, Jenni Catron uncovers a critical mistake many organizations make: promoting top performers into management roles without preparing them for leadership. What seems like a reward can actually set both the employee and their team up for unnecessary struggle—and costly consequences.

Jenni walks through:

• The mindset shift from doer to leader: Why effective managers lead through others rather than just completing tasks themselves.
• Why not everyone should be promoted into people management: Sometimes the greatest impact comes from leveraging an employee’s strengths in their current role.
• The real cost of poor managers: Turnover, disengagement, and lost productivity can quickly add up to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• Practical strategies for executives: How to assess, equip, and support your managers to thrive and protect your culture.

Key Takeaways:

• Prepare managers before promotion with structured training and coaching.
• Evaluate strengths to ensure employees are suited for people management roles.
• Monitor manager effectiveness through surveys, skip-level meetings, and ongoing support.
• Quantify the financial impact of disengagement and turnover to make leadership development a priority.
• Align promotions with organizational impact to maximize both employee contribution and business results.

For executives, people managers are the linchpin of culture and performance. This episode gives a clear, actionable framework to strengthen leadership, retain top talent, and protect your mission—all while avoiding preventable mistakes that cost time, money, and morale.

That's the question we explore with Holly Tate, Senior Vice President of Growth at Leadr.

With us on this journey are Scott Holthaus & Kacie Frazier from Ministry Brands, who are charging the way in fostering healthy leadership within churches. They'll be sharing their expertise on harnessing the power of digital tools to grow and sustain a healthy congregation. The state of a leader can often be mirrored in their church, so we're bringing the focus back to nurturing the well-being of church leaders.

And lastly, we don't shy away from the nitty-gritty. Let's tackle the cultural pressures church leaders face head-on, from combating the worldly noise to preventing burnout and isolation. Here, we challenge the enemy's lies that can discourage leaders and offer ways to uplift them. And to help even further, we introduce you to the Healthy Church Hub from Ministry Brands, a treasure trove of resources for church leaders. Hear from Scott and Kacie on how to overcome these obstacles, equipped with practical strategies to cultivate healthier leaders and, consequently, healthier churches.

There is always something to be anxious about, and it feels like our culture is more anxious than ever before. So, how do we identify where this anxiety is coming from and gain the tools to address it in a healthy way?

Jenni is joined by returning guest, Jon Seidl. Jon is the founder and president of The Veritas Creative, a digital media consulting and content creation firm. For over a decade he has been telling stories. He’s written over 6,000 of them, first after helping start a top-50 news site, then as the editor-in-chief of the popular non-profit, I Am Second, and also created and oversaw Kirk Cameron’s media venture, TheCourage.

Seidl’s passion is to help people with mental health struggles, while also sharing what he’s learned telling stories for—and working with—some of the media’s biggest names and organizations, including Glenn Beck, Kirk Cameron, and Chip and Joanna Gaines. He graduated with a degree in politics, philosophy, and economics from The King’s College in New York City and currently resides in Dallas, with his wife and two children.

In this week’s episode, Jon and Jenni talk about the difference between stress/anxiety and clinical anxiety and why that matters, why we have permission to be unproductive, how to diagnose where your anxiety is coming from, how to reduce anxiety in your workplace culture, and more.

Today, we’re going to talk to you about a topic that we often see get overlooked or avoided. 

As leaders, we want to attract great team members. We want to build inspiring teams and yet, sometimes we avoid the very things that produce the greatest cultures. Often, those things are simple, but they are extraordinarily hard. 

The simple but challenging topic we’re going to tackle today is: feedback. 

How do you create a culture where feedback is given and received, normal and expected, appropriate and productive?

In this week’s episode, Jenni helps us answer that question as she shares the 3 elements of a healthy culture of feedback, 4 ways to create feedback loops throughout the organization, 3 questions to consider for giving healthy feedback, and suggestions for what to do when a team member doesn’t receive feedback well.

How does your team behave? 

Kind of an odd question, isn’t it.

Think for a minute about the behaviors of your team. What do they do that you love? What do they do that frustrates you? What do you wish they did differently? How would you describe them?

This analysis of how your team behaves gives you clues as to whether the culture you’re hoping to create as a leader is really being lived out by your team. 

In this week’s episode, Jenni helps us discover the questions we need to ask to assess our team’s behavior, how to translate your organizational values into behaviors, and what it looks like for you, as the leader, to model those behaviors. 

Because, at the end of the day, great culture starts with YOU.

What happens when you bring three amazing culture thought leaders together for the podcast? A great discussion about the challenges we’re seeing for leaders and teams right now, the dynamics of 5 generations in the workplace, how to think differently about empowering younger leaders, and so much more!

This episode of the Lead Culture podcast features all three partners from the Culture Conference: Jenni Catron, Founder & CEO of the 4Sight Group, Jim Sheppard, Principal and CEO at Generis, and William Vanderbloemen, CEO and Founder of Vanderbloemen. 

Get ready for a fun conversation about what type of employees are really starting to stand out (hint: emotional intelligence is involved), How the “everyone gets a reward” mentality is impacting employee expectations, what the number one skill is when leading younger generations, AND what the real problem is if those generations are not giving to your church (spoiler: it’s not them, it’s you.)

What if the solution to feeling overwhelmed and disconnected was as simple as giving less advice and asking more questions?

Today’s guest, Michael Bungay Stanier believes that staying curious and creating a habit of coaching can resolve many of the leadership challenges we face - while also giving us freedom as we work less but make a bigger impact.

Michael has written books that have sold about a million copies all told, including The Coaching Habit, a self-published book that’s become the best-selling book on coaching this century. He founded a training and development company, Box of Crayons, that has taught coaching skills to hundreds of thousands of people around the world; he’s been happily married for 30 years or so; he created a book in partnership with Seth Godin that raised $400,000 for Malaria No More; he was named the #1 Thought Leader in Coaching and a Coaching Guru; he’s launched several podcasts; and he’s spoken live and virtually to crowds of thousands - and today he’s on the Lead Culture podcast with Jenni!

On this week’s episode, Michael & Jenni talk about why the topic of coaching hit a nerve, why coaching is so critical to leadership, the importance of curiosity, and 7 questions to help you stay curious:

7 questions to help you stay curious:

1. What’s on your mind?
2. And what else?
3. What’s the real challenge here for you?
4. What do you want?
5. How can I help?
6. If you’re saying “yes” to this, what are you saying “no” to?
7. What was most useful or most valuable here for you?

Your next step? Start small - pick one question and one person and one moment - and stay curious!

In this episode of the LeadCulture Podcast, Jenni Catron unpacks a surprising new Gallup study revealing what she calls “the remote work paradox.” While fully remote employees report the highest levels of engagement, they’re also less likely to be thriving in life overall—experiencing more stress, loneliness, and emotional fatigue than their hybrid or in-office peers.

Drawing from her own work-from-home reflections and years of coaching leaders, Jenni explores the delicate balance between autonomy and connection in today’s hybrid workplaces. She highlights three key leadership takeaways from Gallup’s findings:

1. Physical distance creates mental distance—why remote employees need intentional connection rhythms.
2. Autonomy can be stressful—how too much flexibility without structure increases cognitive load.
3. Technology can frustrate—and what leaders can do to minimize coordination fatigue.

Whether your team is remote, hybrid, or fully onsite, Jenni helps you rethink how to build engagement that doesn’t cost wellbeing—and how to cultivate a culture where your people can be both engaged and thriving.

While today’s topic is practical and necessary, it’s a leadership skill that we see some organizations struggle with: accountability.

What if your structure or system problem is really a lack of accountability? How do you create a balance of healthy accountability that helps every person contribute at their best level, without micromanaging?

In this episode, Jenni shares 4 principles for creating a culture of accountability, including: clarify expectations, follow up, measure results, and evaluate ROI. When you clarify expectations, you can keep your team accountable while leaving room for how an employee accomplishes those goals - and we can work better, together.

I recently heard Marshall Goldsmith say that “leaders are better than ever, yet the feedback about leaders is worse than ever. The expectations for leaders have changed.” This immediately resonated with me, and I wanted to find out what leadership expert and author, Tim Arnold, had to say about it. 

In this episode, Tim shares the challenges he’s hearing from leaders, the transformational power of “both/and” thinking, and how he coaches leaders who find themselves in an “either/or” approach to help them shift to something new. 

Tim Arnold has spent over two decades helping leaders manage complexity, increase resilience, and deliver results, with clients that include The United Nations, Royal Bank of Canada, Allstate Insurance, Compassion International, Toyota, and Siemens. After running both a for-profit business and a homeless shelter, he leverages his real-world experience to help organizations pursue both profit and purpose. Tim’s work focuses on helping leaders unleash the superpower of Both/And thinking in an Either/Or world.

The problem with culture: it’s an outcome

To really influence culture we have to be purposeful about what we’re putting into it. We have to ask ourselves, “What inputs will lead to the outcomes we hope for?” 

The key to embedding our values into our culture in a way that leads to true behavior change is in creating rhythms that reinforce our aspirational culture at every stage of a team member’s journey. 

In today’s episode, Jenni shares how to establish those rhythms in every stage, from interviews and hiring to meetings and celebrations. This incredibly practical episode will help you engage every stage of organizational life with culture in mind.

Remember: What seems like repetition is actually navigation!

On this week's podcast, Jenni is joined by one of our Women in Leadership alumni, Angela Buckland. Angela is the Discipleship Director for Bethlehem Church in Bethlehem, GA. Jenni just spent a day with their team talking about all things organizational culture. What she loves about this team is that they asked her to come and talk with them about culture to help them proactively think about their culture as they have some big initiatives and growth ahead. They weren’t reacting to a problem in their culture; they were proactively trying to prepare their team for the season ahead.

While Jenni was there, she got to sit down with Angela… they talked  culture, women in leadership, and a lot of fun things in between. Enjoy this conversation with a dynamic leader!

There is a similar theme that permeates church leadership culture: We’re all terrified of finding ourselves in the same place and yet we keep doing the same thing expecting different results – and we know what that really is – INSANITY!

So what differentiates leaders who flame out from those who lead well for the long haul? 

PRIORITIES

Priorities are the filters that help us succeed in all aspects of life. 
Most of the decisions you make are filtered through your priorities.
You are prioritizing all day every day. 
The question is, are you prioritizing well?

In today’s episode, Jenni shares 4 practical steps for defining your priorities, discusses the difference between fixed and subjective priorities, and offers guidance and thoughtful questions to help you discern the priorities that will be critical to your success.

“People are my greatest challenge.”

Whether coaching a pastor or a business executive, we repeatedly hear this phrase muttered in exhaustion. Different leaders... different environments, but the concern is nearly always the same. Leaders underestimate the challenge of leading others.  

In Jenni’s work with hundreds of leaders, she has grown convinced that emotional intelligence (or lack thereof) is at the core of our people-issues in leadership. 

In today’s episode, Jenni shares the 4 emotional intelligence principles she’s learned that will help you learn to lead yourself well, so you can lead others better. We cannot lead others where we haven’t been ourselves. If you want to have a culture of emotionally healthy people, it must start with you.

“Success is not a matter of mastering subtle, sophisticated theory, but rather of embracing common sense with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence.”
― Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable

This week, Jenni interviews Shannon Litton, President & CEO of 5by5 in a discussion on team health & culture, the challenges and surprising benefits of running a startup, why navigating disagreements is a sign of a healthy culture (and why side-eyes and feeling busier than we are are signs of an unhealthy culture), and how we can have it all - just not all at the same time.

With 20+ years in agency leadership, Shannon has worked with over 500 organizations on everything from rebranding to multicultural marketing. She’s an expert in developing strategies that propel change down the street or around the world… and she makes it fun for everyone involved.

Shannon regularly speaks on leadership, marketing, branding and business strategy. She has addressed a variety of audiences from NFL athletes to healthcare innovation leaders and she is an Entrepreneur magazine contributor. Shannon is the President & CEO of 5by5, a digital marketing agency out of Nashville that has been named one of INC’s “Fastest Growing Companies” for four years and counting.

There is a significant distinction between the leader who is able to compel people to join them in the pursuit of the vision, and the leader who struggles to keep a unified team: it’s the discipline of the leader, not the capability of the followers.  

We often hear from leaders that their team “just can’t keep up,” “they don’t know how to lead others,” “they don’t get it,” etc.  Leaders find themselves frustrated with the teams’ inability to keep up with or own the vision. Consequently, the leader gets frustrated and discouraged, the staff or volunteers feel that disappointment, and before long the entire organization has stagnated.  

Leaders: you have to learn new disciplines to lead your team to new heights.  

This week, Jenni uses her experience climbing Mount Whitney to share 7 key disciplines leaders must embrace in order to lead your team to the vision, and why it’s so much better to share the journey to extraordinary outcomes with others. Slow down, set the pace and experience the success of going together!

In our last episode, we talked about the exponential pressure on leaders right now, especially those who are in the mid-level roles of leadership.

This week, Jenni chats more about this topic with Milan Ford. Milan is the Executive Director of Operations at Turning Point Church, located in McDonough, Georgia. With over two decades of ministry leadership experience, Ford has served alongside some of the most influential churches and faith-based organizations in the country. 

Milan is incredibly intentional to invest in the development of the leaders on his team. He recognizes the importance of leadership development and consistently is thinking about ways to help his team grow. 

Listen as Milan shares how he fights for those opportunities, why he thinks young leaders need to be in the room where decisions are made, the daily and weekly growth tools he uses with his team, how leadership development can help you feel less lonely, the skills Milan feels are critical for leaders to learn, and more.

82% of young adults say, “society is facing a crisis of leadership because there are not enough good leaders right now.” (Barna)

At 4Sight, we are deeply convicted that leadership is sacred work. We get the privilege of investing in the lives of others. This isn’t a right. It’s a responsibility, and the best leaders approach leadership with a sober mentality.

This week, Jenni shares some sobering statistics on the reality of many mid-level leaders and managers who are burned-out, overwhelmed, and actively seeking support and development to be able to lead well, and she shares why expanding - not downsizing - your leadership development budget is critical to your team and your organization.

We, as leaders, need to know and understand the significance of our influence and the power we have to change and affect the lives of those we lead. When we lead from this understanding, we’ll be better equipped to usher in an era of leadership that will rise to the expectations of those we serve.

Have you ever been asked, “What is it like to be a woman leader?” Does it make you feel like being a woman is like having a third eye or some other science-fiction abnormality? 

We are leaders who happen to be women. That’s all. Gender shouldn’t define our opportunities or limitations. It shouldn’t dictate whether we’re a good leader or a bad one. It shouldn’t be the thing that holds us back from leading, nor should it be an excuse to be given opportunities that we haven’t earned. 

This week, in honor of Women’s History Month, Jenni shares some of her thoughts and perspective on being a woman in leadership. She unpacks four insights from Deborah’s leadership (Judges 4 & 5) and encourages us to keep showing up, be better, be unstoppable, AND be gracious and respectful.

Keep stewarding your influence well - it matters!

Simple things consistently done over time shape a culture. 

Consistent appreciation of your team over time produces a culture where team members feel valued and know that their contributions are making a difference. Lack of appreciation of your team over time produces a culture where team members doubt or question their value and are unsure of their purpose within the organization. 

This week, Jenni is joined by three members of the 4Sight team: Project Manager and Culture Conference coordinator, Maddie Minish; coach and Women in Leadership facilitator, Julie Pierce, and Executive Director and executive coach, Genea Browne for a conversation about the value of meaningful employee appreciation. They discuss what it looks like, how to do it well, and how it impacts culture.

You’ll also hear some simple ways to get started if this is a leadership growth area for you: 

• Start with a simple text
• Acknowledge their family & include them (i.e. a giftcard to a restaurant they can all enjoy)
• Start & end your day with 3 thank-you notes - make appreciation part of your routine
• Encourage staff-to-staff appreciation to celebrate each other
• Keep it simple and consistent

Do you ever feel like:

• Someone may be holding back your team
• Someone or something is  impeding your growth
• Something is frustrating and demotivating your staff

 
Well friends, today we’ll talk about how that someone might be you.

Most leaders intend to be good leaders. You value the importance of leadership, and you recognize the tremendous stewardship opportunity to pour into others, develop them, and rally them around a unified goal.
 
You work hard to recruit and assemble a great team of people that you enjoy doing life and work with.
 
The trouble is that, for all your efforts to support, direct, inspire and lead, you may actually be doing the opposite of what you hope.

This week, Jenni shares why your team may actually need less from you and 4 key reasons to define the what but release the how. We’ll talk about who the experts in your organization really are, why a problem-solving culture can result in creative new ideas, how empowerment leads to motivation, and how to determine if your focus is on the what or the how.

Take time this week to ask yourself the following questions: 

• Where are you dictating too many details? 
• Where do you need to define the What, but release the How?

Trust. The elusive relational equity everyone longs for but struggles to know how to build. We take it for granted when we have it, and we are often surprised once we realize we’ve lost it.

The foundational element for every team is trust. Yet time after time when working with leaders on their culture, one of the first issues they cite is lack of trust. They are quick to request a trust-building workshop, or a staff talk on trust.

The problem with trust is that it isn't a one-time initiative, but rather the outcome of ongoing behavior. The opportunity for every leader is that there are simple and consistent things you can do to build trust, and some of the most trust-building activities are things you can control.

This week, Jenni shares 5 unexpected trust-building behaviors that make a significant difference in your culture. We’ll talk about delegation, accountability, communication, and some great questions to ask that will help you create a trustworthy culture and healthy organizational behavior.

Connect with Jenni
Which of these five behaviors is the greatest struggle for you? I encourage you to pick one to focus on first. Seek out a few team members for feedback on how you could improve in this area and begin to give it conscious focus.

Why do leadership and culture go together? Leaders shape culture and cultures shape leaders.

This is the power of culture. And in a season where finding staff is challenging and keeping staff is critical for continuity, creating a culture that enables employees to enjoy their work is a game changer.

If you want a great culture, you have to lead to that culture. If you need to change your culture, you need to lead through the change essential to reshaping the culture. How you’re leading is shaping your culture. You’re either doing it blindly or intentionally. 

This week, Jenni shares 3 simple ways leaders shape culture. We’ll talk about how to address challenges and take action to alleviate frustration, how consistently celebrating wins impacts culture, and why you need to quit whining and communicate optimism and hope.

It requires a great deal of self-leadership to be honest about the challenges, celebrate even when you don’t feel like it and stay optimistic, but leading yourself well is critical to leading others and to leading a culture that reflects the best of who you are.

Every year presents its surprises. As much as we try to plan and anticipate what the year ahead will hold, part of leadership is being able to anticipate the possibilities and respond to the realities. 

We wholeheartedly believe that your organizational culture should be at the top of your priority list every year, but each year different factors may affect when and how your culture will be impacted. One of the reasons our company is called 4Sight is that we want to equip you to know what to anticipate to help you lead well. We want to equip you with the foresight for success. 

This week, Jenni shares the 6 trends she is observing in organizational life that she believes will impact your team culture this year, and offers guidance on how to overcome them. This episode continues our conversation on purpose, why lean, effective teams are essential, the increased pressure on leaders, and more.

By being proactive in addressing these trends, you can combat the effects of them. You won’t avoid them altogether but with greater awareness you’ll be better equipped to lead yourself and lead your team more effectively this year.

As we’ve mentioned recently, data is telling us that purpose is becoming core to employee engagement. In this week’s episode, Jenni continues this conversation with a look at what passion and purpose mean to the next generation of leaders as she interviews Hannah Gronowski Barnett, CEO and Founder of Generation Distinct.

Since founding the organization in 2018, Hannah has scaled the organization to reach leaders around the globe through her vision to use conversations around passion, purpose, and justice to bring the next generation of leaders into conversations about Jesus, the Gospel, and the Great Commission. Their passion is to help young leaders discover the wrong they were born to make right.

Hannah gives us more insight into why giving the gift of belief is so critical to young leaders, how the passion and energy of young leaders is a reflection of their ownership, and she coaches us on some ways to embrace and encourage that passion for the good of the organizations we lead.

The number #1 Culture Trend for this year (from O.C. Tanner 5 Culture Trends for 2023) is that employees want more from their work. “More than a high salary or unique perks and benefits, they want the sense of fulfillment that comes from doing work that has a purpose and feeling that they belong to their workplace community.”

The problem for many team members is that they feel disconnected from that purpose. While the purpose may draw them to your organization, the daily grind of activities can distract them and cause them to feel disconnected from this purpose.

In this week’s episode, Jenni will share why clearly defining your organizational mission, vision, and values is crucial to helping your team have that sense of fulfillment and purpose in their work, with examples from 4Sight to help you as you answer questions like:

• Why do you do what you do?
• Do you have clearly defined mission, vision and values?
• Do you frequently refer to mission, vision and values in conversations and team meetings?
• Can your leaders define the purpose of your organization in one sentence?

As we start the new year, perhaps the biggest question that should be at the top of our minds is: how to build a great team. Your team is the lynch pin between your purpose and your strategy. You can have the greatest purpose in the world, and you can have devised the greatest strategy to achieve it, but without a team to make it happen, it’s just a dream. 

In Matthew Kelly’s book, Culture Solution, he says:  “Culture is the ultimate competitive advantage of our age.”

Are you leaning into this advantage? 

How are you leaning into it this year?

A third of your employees potentially do not feel fulfilled in their work, which makes them nearly 400% more likely to actively look for another job, and 340% more likely to leave the organization within a year. There is a hard cost to not being intentional about creating a culture where employees are fulfilled. 

This week, Jenni talks about why employee fulfillment is critical to your organization, what happens when employees are fulfilled (and when they are not), and offers some practical steps to take this week to evaluate fulfillment within your team. 

Steps to take this week:

1. Do some self-reflection - how fulfilled do you feel in your work? Are you more engaged or less engaged as you start this year? Do you derive significance from the work you are doing? If yes - what about it feels fulfilling, and why? If no - where do you feel the disconnect?
2. Evaluate each of your employees - how fulfilled do they seem? Rate them on a scale of 1-5 (1 = unfulfilled, 5 = extremely fulfilled)
3. Pay attention to ways you can connect your team to the purpose of your organization
4.

What does it look like to lead culture from the middle?

In this episode, Jenni sits down with Trina Lee, a mid-level leader at Africa New Life, who shares how she transformed her team’s culture—starting with small but intentional steps. From clarifying ownership (“Who takes the mail?”) to creating rhythms that celebrate people and reinforce values, Trina shows that you don’t have to sit in the corner office to shape the culture of your organization.

Together, they explore how clarity, consistency, and intentional rhythms create lasting cultural impact—even when you’re not the one setting strategy. You’ll hear how Trina’s approach began influencing the wider organization over time, proving that culture work done well always ripples out.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one who cares about culture, this conversation will remind you that your leadership matters—and that building the team you want to be on can change everything.

Listen in to learn:

• Why clarity is a chief indicator of a healthy culture
• How to create consistent rhythms that reinforce your values
• Practical ways to influence culture—even when you don’t have top-down authority
• How culture systems sustain momentum and outlast transitions

During the Covid pandemic, 150 million people were pushed back into global poverty and 20 million girls left the classroom, many to never return again. For companies like Noonday Collection and Sseko Designs, continuing to provide economic opportunities for the communities they have been supporting for over a decade became even more critical - and the best way to do it was by doing it together.


In this week’s episode, Jenni talks with Jessica Honegger, founder of Noonday Collection, and Liz Bohannon, founder of Sseko Designs. Jessica and Liz recently went through a merger & acquisition process and are now serving as co-owners of Noonday Collection. Noonday Collection works with over 30 artisan businesses and over 2500 artisan partners around the world, and has funded a million dollars of adoptions for families in the US.


Jess and Liz share the mission and values that drive them, their passion for collaboration over competition, how going forward together was better for both of them, and what it means to now have a stunt-double business partner.


They also answer questions about how they merged cultures, how coaching helped them work through the change, and why keeping short accounts and giving generous assumptions are critical to their day-to-day success. Jess and Liz model what healthy, God-honoring leadership looks like and what it looks like to collaborate, not compete, as they lean into the best of each other.

In his book, The 6-Types of Working Genius, Patrick Lencioni writes, “Teams and organizations that help people tap into their God-given talents are much more successful and productive than those that don’t.” But how do you help your team do that when you don’t have clarity about your own gifts and talents? 

In this week’s episode, Jenni chats with Carey O’Connor about one of their favorite team assessments, Lencioni’s Working Genius. Working Genius is 20% a personality assessment and 80% a productivity tool specifically designed for teams. Jenni and Carey are both certified in Working Genius and are passionate about using the tool to help leaders discover the best way to align their teams for success. Carey is a 4Sight Coach and co-lead pastor with her husband who loves helping leaders and teams find clarity & confidence in their roles. 

Jenni and Carey unpack working genius, working competency, and working frustration, the three stages of work (ideation, activation, implementation), and why every job is a “6 letter job.” They also offer real-life examples from their own leadership that show why it’s so important to have all 6 working geniuses on your team, and why bringing them in at the right time is essential to productivity and success. Jenni and Carey also offer some practical solutions once you’ve identified potential working genius gaps in your team.

Working Genius WIDGET (a quick look at the 6 types of working genius and how they fit together): 

• Wonder - is there a need?
• Invention - yes, and I have an idea!
• Discernment - have you thought about this?
• Galvanizer - guys, this is going to be great and here’s how we’re going to do it!
