As I’ve been sharing in the last few podcasts, The Working Genius is a powerful self awareness tool that can transform both your personal and your work life. In today’s podcast, I focus on the underlying motivations behind each genius.  What things people in each genius crave or desire, and what things “crush them”. 

Everyone, regardless of their working genius, craves to be seen, understood, and wanted. When you understand what specific things you crave and what crushes you, you can not only better identify your geniuses but also use that information to have more agency in your life - to work more productively, improve work and personal relationships, and avoid burnout.

Main points: 

• Understanding what motivations are behind each genius is vital to be able to use this information to improve your life and your relationships.
• Wonder - craves being considered; crushed when dismissed.
• Invention - craves freedom; crushed by constraints or when others jump in too soon.
• Discernment - craves being trusted; crushed when told to “prove it”.
• Galvanizing - craves reaction; crushed by apathy.
• Enabling - craves appreciation; crushed by being overlooked.
• Tenacity - craves clarity; crushed by ambiguity.
