Where trust is established, talent is developed, and culture is built.
When it comes to leadership, most of our challenges don’t start with strategy or markets. They start with people:
A teammate who’s brilliant but not humble.
A leader who avoids healthy conflict, so problems go underground.
A team burning out because too many are stuck working in their Working Frustrations instead of their Geniuses.
Patrick Lencioni’s models remind us:
The Five Dysfunctions show where trust and accountability crack.
The Ideal Team Player points to the 3 virtues (Humble, Hungry, Smart) we need to hire and coach for.
Working Genius gives us language to explain why someone thrives—or struggles—in their role.
👉 This category is where we bring those threads together.

- Is it about teammates who aren’t Hungry, Humble, or Smart enough?
- Or is it about someone miscast in the wrong kind of work?
Drop your thoughts below. Be specific enough that others can weigh in, but keep it safe: no company names, no personal callouts.
Let’s use this space to turn isolation into clarity, and clarity into action.
