Discover Your Working Genius
Dr. Marc Tower — Assistant Dean, Innovation Education and Growth, Spears School of Business and Associate Professor of Professional Practice, School of Entrepreneurship
“If you want to be successful and fulfilled in your work, you must tap into your gifts. That can’t happen if you don’t know what those gifts are.” — Patrick Lencioni, author on leadership
So, what are your gifts? After spending time with Dr. Marc Tower, you’ll not only have a greater understanding of your areas of “Working Genius”— or those tasks that bring you joy and energy; but you’ll gain insight into areas that cause you frustration. Upon completing the Working Genius seminar, you will: • Know and understand your working strengths and limitations—and how to apply that knowledge • Understand your team/organization— where there are gaps and how to address that to improve performance • How to improve working relationships and understanding of others to maximize organizational performance • Learn a different way to view your strengths and limitations and those of others • Maximize team performance by applying strengths strategically and removing challenges • Learn to be happier and more satisfied with your performance and your team’s performance This is for everyone, but is especially useful for teams, from functional small teams to executive teams and everything in-between. During this four-hour seminar, each participant will receive an individual Working Genius assessment and a Team map with analysis. This seminar is sponsored by the School of Entrepreneurship and the Center for the Future of Work in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University.
