Unlocking Team Potential: The 6 Types of Working Genius

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 22:42:46 +0000

Do your team members struggle with burnout and frustration at work? Are meetings inefficient and unproductive? Do you wonder why some employees thrive in certain roles while others seem constantly drained?

Business owners, managers, and team leads today face the challenge of maximizing productivity while maintaining high morale and preventing burnout. Patrick Lencioni’s groundbreaking 6 Types of Working Genius model offers a remarkably simple yet powerful framework for understanding how people naturally contribute to any project or team effort. This half-day program will help you identify your own areas of genius and frustration, while giving you practical tools to build stronger, more cohesive teams where every member works in their area of natural energy and joy.

The 6 Types of Working Genius model identifies six distinct stages of work—from ideation through implementation—and reveals which stages energize versus drain each team member. By understanding this model, leaders can structure work, delegate tasks, and facilitate meetings in ways that keep everyone “at the right altitude,” avoiding the turbulence that comes from misalignment.

Key Competencies:

Discover Your Personal Geniuses – Take the Working Genius assessment and understand which types of work bring you natural joy, energy, and fulfillment versus frustration and exhaustion
Leverage Team Strengths – Learn to identify and utilize the unique geniuses of each team member to increase productivity, reduce burnout, and improve job satisfaction and alignment
Structure Effective Meetings – Apply the “altitude” concept to keep meetings focused at the appropriate stage of work (Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, or Tenacity)
Build Team Cohesion – Develop a common language for discussing work preferences, reducing unnecessary judgment, and creating more collaborative team dynamics
Optimize Workflow and Delegation – Structure projects and delegate responsibilities based on natural geniuses rather than traditional job descriptions alone

Successful participants will:

Gain clarity on their own areas of genius and frustration, experiencing immediate relief from understanding why certain work energizes or drains them
Learn to recognize the six types of genius in their team members and leverage these natural gifts for better project outcomes and higher productivity
Develop practical strategies for structuring meetings that honor different working styles and keep discussions productive and focused
Create action plans for realigning job responsibilities and team structures to maximize engagement, reduce burnout, and improve overall morale
Build stronger team cohesion through a shared framework and common language for discussing work preferences and complementary strengths

Please note: Fee includes $20. Working Genius assessment fee. Participants will need a smart phone to complete the assessment during the session.

Leading Above the Noise

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 22:27:50 +0000

As reported by the website, tech21century.com: “Through mobile phones, online entertainment services, the Internet, electronic mail, television, radio, newspapers, books, social media etc. people receive every day about 105,000 words or 23 words per second in half a day (12 hours) (during awake hours). According to…researchers, the main effect of information overload is that the human attention to focus is continually hampered and interrupted all too often, which does not help in the process of reflection and deeper thinking.”

It’s not that things are changing, it’s that things are changing faster and faster. The increasing velocity of change creates new and ever-greater challenges.

If your inbox is overwhelming, your to-do list never-ending, 2010 seems like it was just last year, and you have forgotten what it feels like to be caught up with everything, you may be suffering from Information Overload compounded by a case of Urgency Dependence.

Building on the best time management methods, as well as programs designed to lower frustration, diminish stress, and improve relationships both on and off the job, this session aims to help participants realize a more meaningful and satisfying life, in spite of non-stop change and the enormous volume of information coming at them 24/7.

This workshop will help leaders at all levels work more effectively, then more efficiently, while initiating and facilitating beneficial change, by communicating purposefully and persuasively in order to enable themselves and others to keep up with tomorrow.

Agenda & Objectives

Successful participants will:

Describe how the Natural Laws of Commerce drive change.
Identify recent changes in their lives and describe the impact of those changes.
Learn how to lead others through the cycles of change, and prevent them from getting stuck in the past.
Examine how balancing efficiency and effectiveness can lead to more satisfying and productive outcomes.
Discover their own degree of Urgency Mindset.
Assess how effectively they are using their time, and how to keep from wasting it.
Select and plan how best to use their preferred methods of stress reduction.

A presentation on Half the Town Burned: The Great Wooldridge Fire of 2022 presented by Tim Scherrer at 6:00 p.m. at the Garnett Library on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. This event is sponsored by the Ozarks Heritage Research Center, WPCA, and Missouri Humanities. Refreshments provided.

The presentation gives the background of Wooldridge, Missouri and its historic decline. The fire burned half the town in ninety minutes. The presentation includes audio recordings of the participants and some of the illustrative videos that show the intensity of the fire. This was the largest fire that some of the most seasoned first responders in the state ever saw. They navigated these challenges of unprecedented situations never seen before in the Midwest.

A native of Quincy, Illinois, Tim Scherrer received his B.A. and M.A. in History from Truman State University where he was also a Distinguished Military Graduate of the Army ROTC program. He also studied at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He has worked at Truman State University and taught Military Science and Military History at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He also served as Director of College Placement/Counseling and Instructor of Military History at Missouri Military Academy. He is the Dean of Academics at Fr. Tolton Catholic High School in Columbia, MO. He served as Lieutenant Colonel 28 years in the U.S. Army Reserve as a Military Intelligence Officer. He received the Knowleton Award from the Military Intelligence Corps Association in 2015 and was inducted into the Army ROTC Hall of Fame at Truman State. He lives in Columbia, MO.

OHRC Presentation - A Road Trip into America's Hidden Heart

Thu, 9 Apr 2026 17:30:01 +0000

A presentation on A Road Trip into America's Hidden Heart presented by John Drake Robinson at 6:00 p.m. at the Garnett Library on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. This event is sponsored by the Ozarks Heritage Research Center, WPCA, and Missouri Humanities. Refreshments provided.

John Robinson, a former Missouri director of tourism, puts a different spin on the traditional road trip. Over 13 years, he drove every mile of every road on the Missouri state highway map. With an irreverent sense of humor--Robinson compares his unconventional journey to mowing a 68,000-square-mile lawn—he and his car (his only constant companion on this odyssey) discover the real America beyond the interstate. Real people. Obscure places. Forgotten facts. Whether he's uncovering tombstone histories or sitting down to a blue plate lunch, Robinson relays his encounters in a relaxed storytelling style.

John Robinson comes from a family of teachers. And they taught him to be observant. They just didn’t realize what he would end up studying. In a bizarre experiment that lasted 13 years, he drove every mile of every road on his state highway map. In three insightful books, he recorded what he saw. Together, John and his car, Erifnus Caitnop, traveled throughout Missouri, a 250,000-mile journey to discover the real America beyond the interstate. Real people. Obscure places. Forgotten stories. His journey unfolds in Missouri, but it could be about any state, any traveler who drives into America’s hidden heart.

John's 300+ articles have appeared in many magazines–including Missouri Life, Rural Missouri and Show Me Missouri Magazine. His newest book, Souls Along the Road, continues the “road trip” revelations of his earlier works: A Road Trip Into America's Hidden Heart, and Coastal Missouri. He won an Emmy Award for the series, Finding Wild Missouri, produced by the Missouri Department of Conservation.

Deadline to request a FERPA hold

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 18:57:08 +0000

Family Educational Rights and Privay Act (FERPA)

What is FERPA?

FERPA is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and is a federal law that was enacted in 1974. FERPA protects the privacy of student education records. All educational institutions that receive federal funding must comply with FERPA.

In primary and secondary educational institutions (i.e. K-12), all FERPA rights belong to the parent. However, when the student reaches the age of 18 or begins to attend a post-secondary institution regardless of age, all FERPA rights transfer to the student.

If you're a student, it's important for you to understand your rights under FERPA. If you're a parent, you'll need to understand how the law changes once your student enters a post-secondary institution. If you're a University employee, you'll need to understand what information can and cannot be released, and the appropriate procedures for release of student information.

FERPA Forms

The Release of Information Authorization form is used by students to authorize the University to disclose education records that are otherwise protected under FERPA.

The FERPA Hold Request form is used by currently enrolled students to request that the University not release any "directory information". In accordance with the FERPA Policy, currently enrolled students may request that the University not release any "directory information" by submitting a FERPA Hold Request form. Please consider this request carefully as this will limit the University's ability to communicate with you.

The FERPA Hold Removal form is used to rescind a FERPA hold. If you are not a current student and are unable to log into your Missouri State account and wish to submit a FERPA Hold Removal form, please contact the Office of the Registrar at Registrar@MissouriState.edu to request a .pdf form. FERPA Hold Removal request

The People Search website is the University's official directory of students, faculty, and staff. A request to exclude information from People Search may be completed by currently enrolled students. To be removed from anything other than People Search, including the Outlook Address Book, a FERPA hold must be completed. Read more about People Search and your options regarding display of your information.Request to exclude information from People Search
