Unlock Your Team’s Potential: How the 6 Types of Working Genius Assessment Transforms Workplace Performance
Are you struggling with team productivity, employee engagement, or project bottlenecks? The 6 Types of Working Genius assessment, developed by Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group, offers a breakthrough solution for understanding how people naturally contribute to work and teams.
What is the 6 Types of Working Genius?
Unlike traditional personality assessments, Working Genius identifies six natural types of work that either energize or drain us: Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity. Each person has two areas of genius (natural gifts), two areas of competency (learned skills), and two areas of frustration (energy drains).
Real Results for Real Teams
Manufacturing Leadership Team
A client’s executive team was constantly clashing over project priorities. After completing the Working Genius assessment, they discovered their conflict stemmed from having too many “Wonder” types (big‑picture thinkers) and no “Tenacity” genius (detail‑oriented finishers). By redistributing responsibilities and hiring strategically, they reduced project delays by 40% and improved team satisfaction scores.
Tech Startup Case Study
A growing software company was burning out their star developer who excelled at coding but was drowning in client meetings. The assessment revealed she was a natural Invention genius being forced into Galvanizing work. Reassigning client‑facing responsibilities to team members with Galvanizing genius increased both her productivity and job satisfaction while improving client relationships.
Non‑Profit Organization
A struggling non‑profit couldn’t understand why great ideas never reached completion. The assessment showed they had strong Wonder and Invention geniuses but lacked Enablement and Tenacity. By identifying volunteers with these complementary geniuses, they successfully launched three major initiatives within six months.
