Jonathan Satovsky Speaks with Robert Seiden

What happens when a 45-person team has only one person who’s energized by getting work across the finish line? That’s what Christine Courtney discovered when her team tried Working Genius, Patrick Lencioni’s framework for understanding which of six kinds of work energize you and which drain you. Today, on Wisdom, Wealth and Wellness, Christine and I talk about how a team can have plenty of ideas and still struggle to follow through, and how even a CEO’s strengths can create friction. Christine shares how one company set aside “wonder windows” for its idea-generating founder and why she took back the part of a staff meeting she loved after delegating it away. We’ll look at how to use those insights to give people more of the work that energizes them and less of what drains them.Your host: For over 25 years, Jonathan has started with a simple question – How can I help? Driven by a deep curiosity and insatiable appetite for learning, his life’s passion is to solve challenges for others and unlock people’s potential to pursue their dreams. In his dual role as CEO and Chief Behavioral Coach of Satovsky, Jonathan provides leadership, coaching, advanced financial planning, and oversight across client relationships and business operations.
