What if your team’s “people problems” are actually genius problems? In this episode, Andrew sits down with HR consultant and Working Genius facilitator Robin Baker of The People Factor to talk about building teams that actually work well together.
Why You Should Listen
🔹 You lead (or want to lead) a small team and feel like things keep falling through the cracks.
🔹 You’re curious how the Working Genius model can improve hiring, delegation, and morale.
🔹 You’ve grown on “duct tape HR” and suspect there are compliance gaps you can’t see.
In this episode we cover:
🔹 What the Working Genius assessment really measures (it’s more about energy than personality).
🔹 Common missing “geniuses” on teams—especially Galvanizing and Tenacity—and how that shows up day to day.
🔹 How to tell if you have a people problem, a role problem, or a process problem.
🔹 When to bring in HR support (ideally with your first hire) and the most common gaps Robin finds.
🔹 The explosion of Colorado employment-law changes and why “copy-paste” handbooks aren’t enough anymore.
🔹 Practical networking tips from an HR pro: turning one-on-ones into real referral partnerships.
