The 6 Types of Working Genius
Help people understand how they best contribute in order for them to feel productive and fulfilled at work:
People who understand their genius show up to work happier, are more effective, and play well with others. The Working Genius assessment is 20% personality and 80% productivity. Pat Lencioni and the Table Group created the Working Genius model and assessment. This model was created to help people discover their natural gifts and thrive in their work and life.
As Working Genius Certified Facilitators, we have received hands-on training from The Table Group. We have been equipped to analyze and apply results to help individuals and teams leverage Working Genius to be more innovative, strategic, and effective.
The 6 Types of Working Genius
Working Genius identifies the six fundamental activities that are required for any type of work and provides a simple framework for how work gets done. Too many people feel frustrated, underutilized or misunderstood at work. Far too many teams experience failure, feel stuck or are confused because they don't know how to tap into the people around them. Working Genius is changing the way people are thinking about their work and teams, and is leading to more dignified, fulfilled and successful work.
The Geniuses are defined as follow:
Wonder – The natural gift of pondering the possibility of greater potential and opportunity in a given situation.
Invention – The natural gift of creating original and novel ideas and solutions.
Discernment – The natural gift of intuitively and instinctively evaluating ideas and situations.
Enablement – The natural gift of providing encouragement and assistance for an idea or project.
Galvanizing – The natural gift of rallying, inspiring, and organizing others to take action.
Tenacity – The natural gift of pushing projects or tasks to completion to achieve results.
