Choose to be a Working Genius with Greg Harrod
From Productive Joy · 00:36:52
Show by Dr. Christie McMullen
Today Dr. Christie welcomes leadership expert Greg Harrod to Productive Joy to discuss making work fun and fulfilling through the Six Types of Working Genius by Patrick Lencioni. Greg shares his transition from a 30-year manufacturing career to full-time business coaching, plus launching Pemberley Wool Works, a sheep and fiber-arts business in a 546-person Kansas town, motivated by family priorities after his father’s death. They unpack redefining work, fun, and success, and how burnout can come from living in “competency” instead of “genius.” Greg explains the six work types—wonder, invention, discernment, galvanizing, enablement, and tenacity—and how teams and couples can use this guilt-free language to reassign work based on wiring, not just capacity. Christie adds her definition of fun at work: feeling valued, having a voice, and leveraging talents for the greater good, and Greg encourages listeners to focus on what energizes them.learn more and connect with Greg:realworldreconnect.combeasttoblanket.comdyeasheep.comleadershipclarityscorecard.comEpisode Highlights:00:00 Meet Greg Harrod01:12 Big Career Pivot03:46 Risk And Pick Your Hard05:29 Redefining Work And Fun08:29 Six Working Geniuses11:47 Guilt Free Team Language15:00 Productive Joy Defined17:34 Fun At Work Framework18:41 Respect And Letting Go19:01 Reassign Work by Wiring20:28 Farm Life Reconnect22:36 Slow Down to Lead25:23 Respect Different Paces27:31 Leadership Clarity Scorecard29:30 Whose Opinion Matters31:37 Rapid Fire Takeaways34:43 Final Mic Drop #ProductiveJoy #WorkingGenius #PatrickLencioni #LeadershipDevelopment #TeamBuilding #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement #Coaching #BusinessCoaching #SelfAwareness #LeadershipCoaching #OrganizationalDevelopment #ManagementTips #WorkLifeBalance #BurnoutPrevention #CareerChange #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusinessOwner #FarmLife #FiberArts #SheepFarm #EmployeeMotivation #DefineSuccess #HealthyTeams #Productivity
