Patrick Lencioni thinks it is time to change the way we prepare people for success. Drawing from his book, The Ideal Team Player, Lencioni makes the compelling case that the key to success in an increasingly team-oriented world is being humble, hungry and smart. Whether you’re a CEO or a 7th grader, focusing on these deceptively simple virtues can radically improve your personal and professional effectiveness and fulfillment.

    1. Humble - think about others ahead of themselves 2. Hungry - work really hard 3. Smart - emotionally intelligent, common sense
  • I've read all his books except this one - always so easy to understand and apply! This talk was so powerfully delivered in a few minutes. Love it!
  • @susanyoung9880
    Love the book and his message! We are using "The Ideal Team Player" concept in our new business and I'm teaching it to my middle- and high school students.
  • This was excellent! So relevant to today's working world and what we are all going through regularly. I shared with my team immediately. Thank you

    Patrick Lencioni is the best! I was privileged to attend his conference in Dallas at the beginning of the month.

    Splendid! Teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability
  • @Onlyjesus5
    Being humble, hungry and smart (common sense) sounds simple values but they are the foundational discipline to be a great leader and a good follower. He definitely speaks from experience and success. Sometimes, people don't understand and appreciate the power of simplicity and fails to deal with complexity.

    I was teary on the last 2 sentences.. Yes indeed - our world (start at home) will be a better place with all these 3.

    I love Patrick...all his books and talks are great.
  • As an 18 year old i'm a huge Pat fan! He has completely and radically changed my perspective on teams.
  • @MeganLoyd
    I feel like this should be in every work orientation because it shows the kind of workers out there and what their strength and weaknesses are, but also how they tend to be in the work place and how they operate. Love this!
  • The presentation was very good and intriguing . He was very passionate and really kept me watching till the end. Good job sir.
  • @ianpatrick23
    Such a great message delivered by such a great speaker.
  • The principles of Servant Leadership will embrace HHS. Thank you for the lesson Patrick
  • I think all the three elements can be worked upon and improve them. I need to work upon the hunger element as far as these 3 elements are concerned. Thanks for the video.
  • I agree with asking family and team members what they see about your leadership abilities or team participant style. The feedback is invaluable if they care about you. I miss having such feedback.
