The 6 Types of Working Genius by Patrick Lencioni
reflective
medium-paced
2.5
Edit: I stand by my review below but after reflection, the book does explain why I am so incredibly obnoxious to work with, so I am adding an extra half-star so I can point at this book and tell my coworkers “see, I’m not intentionally useless and difficult! I just have extremely undervalued types of ‘genius.’” 😅
I read this after another of Lencioni’s books and this one was disappointing. It didn’t resonate with me and the “fable” style story fell flat. Maybe I do better with these types of books as audiobooks, but the writing struck me as (more) corny (than usual) and repetitive. And it was so clearly just retelling the author’s actual experience. It felt fake and self-aggrandizing in a weird way and also too political and about “good ol’ fashioned Christian values.” It lost credibility and the thesis didn’t land. Bleh.
