Patrick Lencioni | Episode #19

Patrick is the founder and President of The Table Group, author of 11 books that have sold over 6 million copies, and a professional leadership speaker. He has spoken to Google, NFL/NBA Teams, Southwest Airlines, and Chick-fil-A. His work has been featured in Fortune, USA TODAY, and Harvard Business Review. He hosts two podcasts: At The Table and The Simple Reminder.

Humility: Pride is at the root of all problems for us. Many people, especially high schoolers, become masters at pretending to show humility. Just understand that all of these vanity metrics will one day mean absolutely nothing. Learn to accept yourself and celebrate others in their wins. Don't get caught up in the societal comparison trap.

Growing Up: Suffering is a part of growth. It's completely normal to suffer and experience hardships in your teenage years. For Pat, being small and immature was a major struggle. Also, he suffered from severe OCD as a child. Sometimes we need to learn from adults that aren't our parents. Find a mentor and or someone that understands and accepts you for you.

The Ideal Team Player: Humble, Hungry, Smart. Put in the work not because people will praise you, but because you embrace the grind. Learn to understand people (Emotional Intelligence). These 3 areas are huge when applying for a job. Check out Pat's book The Ideal Team Player  to learn more.
