META PERFORMANCE SHOW | On this episode of the Meta Performance Show, Jason Jaggard is joined by Founder and President of the Table Group, Patrick Lencioni.
Patrick is in the business of building better leaders. In 1997, he helped found the Table Group as a consulting firm for small Bay Area companies to improve their organizational leadership. Today, Patrick and the Table Group are leading a movement to make strong organizational health a reality in companies everywhere. Through his work, Patrick is the bestselling author of 13 books including his newest “The 6 Types of Working Genius”, which have sold more than 8 million copies and have been translated into more than 30 languages. The Wall Street Journal has once called him one of “the most in-demand speakers in America” - he has addressed millions around the world at Leadership and Development events, and hosts the Podcast “At The Table”, where he sits across the table from some of the foremost experts in leadership and business.
In their conversation, they discuss the early days of the Table Group and how Pat turned Steve Jobs down to work at Pixar so he could instead start his own venture. Later on, Pat walks us through his 6 Types of Working Genius as outlined by the term WIDGET in his newest book. There's a great assessment to learn which letters you are, we highly recommend it for you and your partners at work… or your partner at home. We also dig into Jason’s favorite book of Patrick’s, “The Motive”, which talks about how to deal with the drift in and out of a reward-centered leadership mindset, and the five behaviors you need to change to level-up your leadership.
If you’re interested in taking the assessment to find what your types of Working Genius are, you can find it here.
Be sure to check out all of Patrick’s written work on Leadership, especially the two we discussed today, “The 6 Types of Working Genius” and “The Motive”. You can also find Patrick’s speaking page here, and you can listen to Patrick’s Leadership Podcast, At the Table wherever your Podcasts are found.

Customer Reviews
Yours Truly
So happy to be introduced to Johnny Dollar through this podcast. Thank you 🙏
Be prepared to fast forward (a lot).
The content is excellent, these are radio shows that were played (generally) in the 1950s. Sound quality of the episodes is usually great - on rare occasions they will sound a bit scratchy but the host is at the mercy of recordings made 70ish years ago so I have no issue with it. Sometimes (if we are lucky) there will be commercials that aired at the time of original broadcast. Those are fun to listen to…I don’t mind them at all.
The stories are framed with modern day narrative that puts the show into context and adds further insight into what was going on in the world at the time. I like this too. All of this adds up to potentially a five star podcast.
When I write reviews I need some way to separate the ‘five stars’ from the ‘four stars’, etc. Shows that air modern day commercials will lose a star. Seems fair to me…commercials are not bad in and of themselves but a show with commercials is ‘less than perfect’ so they always lose a star.
The /audio quality/ of the “modern narrative” is just okay or at the very least, annoying. There are constant ‘skip noises’ where it seems like audio has been cut and spliced together, even in mid sentence. The volume changes slightly, or pauses between words are longer or shorter than normal, etc. The commentary is only a few minutes long- seriously, isn’t it possible to re-record until you get it in one take?
Finally, back to the commercials. There are A LOT of commercials. I listen to many podcasts is this one has far, far more than any other I know. Then there are Patreon shout outs, and the Priceline ad read, and on an on. Thankfully you can fast forward through them easily enough but it means you need to be near your device to do so. Finally, it seems a bit…bold…to play so many commercials on 1950s content that you got for free, but whatever.
All adds up to two stars. I would prefer 2.5 stars but I’m not allowed to give halfs. Old time radio shows are available elsewhere online 24/7 for free with no commercials but you DO miss out on Adam’s framing narrative. I still subscribe, I just keep my phone handy to fast forward through all the ads.
Great show
Love Johnny Dollar! Started listening to him with my mom on car rides. Takes me back to an era long ago and a time in America when things were simple and wholesome
