SUMMARY:Unlocking Team Potential: The 6 Types of Working Genius
DESCRIPTION:Do your team members struggle with burnout and frustration at work? Are meetings inefficient and unproductive? Do you wonder why some employees thrive in certain roles while others seem constantly drained?\nBusiness owners, managers, and team leads today face the challenge of maximizing productivity while maintaining high morale and preventing burnout. Patrick Lencioni’s groundbreaking 6 Types of Working Genius model offers a remarkably simple yet powerful framework for understanding how people naturally contribute to any project or team effort. This half-day program will help you identify your own areas of genius and frustration, while giving you practical tools to build stronger, more cohesive teams where every member works in their area of natural energy and joy.\nThe 6 Types of Working Genius model identifies six distinct stages of work—from ideation through implementation—and reveals which stages energize versus drain each team member. By understanding this model, leaders can structure work, delegate tasks, and facilitate meetings in ways that keep everyone “at the right altitude,” avoiding the turbulence that comes from misalignment.\nKey Competencies:\n\nDiscover Your Personal Geniuses – Take the Working Genius assessment and understand which types of work bring you natural joy, energy, and fulfillment versus frustration and exhaustion\nLeverage Team Strengths – Learn to identify and utilize the unique geniuses of each team member to increase productivity, reduce burnout, and improve job satisfaction and alignment\nStructure Effective Meetings – Apply the “altitude” concept to keep meetings focused at the appropriate stage of work (Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, or Tenacity)\nBuild Team Cohesion – Develop a common language for discussing work preferences, reducing unnecessary judgment, and creating more collaborative team dynamics\nOptimize Workflow and Delegation – Structure projects and delegate responsibilities based on natural geniuses rather than traditional job descriptions alone\n\nSuccessful participants will:\n\nGain clarity on their own areas of genius and frustration, experiencing immediate relief from understanding why certain work energizes or drains them\nLearn to recognize the six types of genius in their team members and leverage these natural gifts for better project outcomes and higher productivity\nDevelop practical strategies for structuring meetings that honor different working styles and keep discussions productive and focused\nCreate action plans for realigning job responsibilities and team structures to maximize engagement, reduce burnout, and improve overall morale\nBuild stronger team cohesion through a shared framework and common language for discussing work preferences and complementary strengths\n\nPlease note: Fee includes $25. Working Genius assessment fee.  Participants will need a smart phone to complete the assessment during the session.\n \n
