What if the kid staring out the window isn't unfocused, but doing exactly the work he was made for?

Chris Stefanick and Patrick Lencioni, creator of Working Genius and president of The Table Group, walk through the six kinds of work every project needs, from asking the big question to making sure the plane actually lands. Patrick explains why only two of the six are your genius, and why the other four feel so different.

We discuss the difference between a genius, a competency, and a frustration, and why you can burn out doing work you're good at.

Chris reflects on what it means that God gave each of us only two, how that frees you from guilt over the rest, and how it helps you appreciate the people who love the work you can't stand.

Who in your life loves the exact work that drains you?
