Today I'm joined by the G.O.A.T of business fables, Patrick Lencioni. He's the author of 12 books that have sold over 7 million copies including "The Five Dysfunctions of A Team" and his newest book...The 6 Types of Working Genius. In this interview, we talk about:
-Writing screenplays and how that helped Pat get started as an author and write better fables
-Why you should write a fable instead of a traditional non-fiction book
-The 5 core elements of writing great fables
-How Pat does character development and structures the characters in his books to be realistic
-How you can anticipate the objections of your readers and answer them in a fable through your characters
-Plotters & Pantsers - which one are you and which one is Pat?
-The 6 Types Of Working Genius…and how you can use your genius to write and publish a better book

Pat is a genius. He's written some of my favorite business books and favorite fables. It was fun breaking down the behind the scenes in this interview. Listen and let me know what you think in the reviews!
