Wondering why your team isn’t clicking?
It’s more FIXABLE than you think.
Find Out Where You Do Your Best Work AND Where Your Team Is Stuck
Most team friction or poor execution isn’t a people problem — it’s a language problem. When your team lacks shared language around how work actually happens, you get misread strengths, misaligned meetings, and people burning out on work that drains them.
Working Genius gives you the language, context and framework for the culture and teamwork you actually want to lead.
I Don’t Want You To Miss Out on What Working Genius Could Do For Your Leadership & Team
You have a decent team. Genuinely good people. But somehow you’re still having the same conversations, hitting the same walls, and wondering why things aren’t moving the way they should.
The problem usually isn’t effort or attitude. It’s that your team doesn’t have a shared understanding of how work actually flows — or where each person fits inside of it (including yourself). Without that, even good teams plateau.
Working Genius gives leaders a framework to finally diagnose what’s stalling momentum and make concrete changes — not to the people, but to how the work gets done.
One leader who’s regularly using Working Genius with their team had this to say:
“It’s rare that a framework this simple carries this much practical staying power.”

What is The Six Types of Working Genius?
The Working Genius is Patrick Lencioni’s (& The Table Group) newest team framework connecting your team’s individual AND collective wiring with the work you do on a daily basis.
AT A GLANCE:
Regardless of the kind of work, there are SIX ACTIVITIES necessary to do it well. Each one is equally valuable and required for getting work done.
You have Two Geniuses, Two Competencies and Two Frustrations and that means:
- Working Genius indicates the kind of work that comes most naturally; what brings you joy and fulfillment. It consistently gives you energy.
- Working Competency indicates what activities you can do well but are not fulfilled by. They may provide moderate energy but the kind that lasts.
- Working Frustration indicates what activities you dislike doing and find draining, even if you’ve learned to be capable at it.
Take a look at the Six Geniuses and their corresponding Stage of Work.
6 Working Geniuses
Stage of Work
1. Wonder
People with Wonder may ask, “Is there a better way?” They love to sit and imagine the possibilities.
2. Invention
People with the Genius of Invention get joy from taking ideas and brainstorming solutions.
Ideation
Wonder and Invention are the beginning for any kind of work.
3. Discernment
People with the Genius of Discernment have a natural ability to evaluate the workability of ideas and give people good feedback.
4. Galvanizing
People with the Genius of Galvanizing love to get things going by rallying people around an idea and moving them in the right direction.
Activation
Discernment and Galvanizing are key components before the take-off of any idea.
5. Enablement
People with the Genius of Enablement are the ones who make things happen. They know how to help, when to help, and can flex to what needs to happen in order to help realize a vision.
6. Tenacity
People with the Genius of Tenacity are task-oriented and love to take things across the finish line. They ensure it’s going to have the impact it’s supposed to have and lives up to agreed-upon standards.
Implementation
Enablement and Tenacity are necessary in order to turn our dreams into realities.
Not Just Another Assessment
The Working Genius assessment is 20% personality and 80% productivity. People who understand their genius show up to work happier, are more effective, and play well with others.
- Productivity 80%
- Personality 20%
Get the Clarity You & Your Team Need
Understanding why things worked (or didn't) in past projects.
It’s one thing to experience success (or not) at work, but it’s another thing to understand what made you successful. Understand why some things have worked and others haven’t in past endeavours.
Clarify what fuels you.
Many of us get called upon to do things because we’re good at it. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we like it. Clarify where work gives you joy and energy and where it’s draining and difficult.
Understand your team.
“Why don’t they see it like me?” or “Why don’t they understand how important it is to…?” These are questions we often ask at work and also at home. Understanding our own Geniuses helps us to alleviate guilt about struggles we all have with certain types of work. It also helps us to be less judgmental with our team when we know what gives them joy vs. what drains them at work.
No more 'Meeting Stew'
We’ve all walked into meetings where we didn’t know what it was we were trying to accomplish. We’ve all walked away from those same meetings wondering what we decided. The Working Genius helps to improve dialogue and directives in team meetings by understanding the 6 stages of work and giving your team language to clarify the purpose for each kind of meeting.
Utilize people's strengths.
When we speak of strengths, it’s not just what a person is good at. But in the WG model, it’s about what gives a person joy and fulfillment in their work. That’s the beauty of having a Genius. When we enjoy work, it doesn’t feel like work.
WG helps teams to make quick and concrete adjustments to roles and responsibilities to better tap into one another’s strengths, and avoid one another’s weaknesses.
(We understand that we can’t be 100% in our Geniuses, but the more time we spend there, the more productive and fulfilled your team will be)
Get more done.
When your team is spending more time involved in work they enjoy, you will begin to get more done in less time.
