I was privileged to sit down with Patrick Lencioni and talk about his leadership reset in 2024. This is a candid conversation that shines a light on performance addiction and how we can get out of the trap of achieving and pleasing and become healthy leaders.

​
Patrick Lencioni, Founder of The Table Group. TG focus is on leading a movement to make organizational health a reality in companies and organizations everywhere. That's because we are utterly convinced that a healthy organization achieves greater results, builds a more loyal customer base, and develops fulfilled employees.

What I learned in my conversation with Pat:

1. How Pat and his wife Laura grow their marriage through long drives together.
2. Be responsive to the voice of God, and the Holy Spirit will lead you. Learning to respond in a way that is alignment with him and your gifting will lead you to flourish.
3. How achievers and pleasers may not even be aware of their dark side because it gets rewarded in our organizations.
4. The simple truths are the foundations of healthy organizations and a thriving life.
5. The false narrative that exists when high performance is only measured by external outcomes.
6. The addiction of high performers to please others is a dangerous path.
7. Be excellent at your job and allow the joy of Jesus to be the overflow
8. Learn about yourself through assessments, coaching, and get curious about the behaviors that are not consistent with the gifts that God gives you.
9. Pray regularly and pause throughout the day to delight in the one who created you.
