About the Framework

What Is Working Genius?

Developed by Patrick Lencioni, the Working Genius model identifies six types of work. Every person has two natural Geniuses — work that energizes them — two areas of Competency, and two areas of Frustration that drain them.

When teams understand their collective profile, they stop fighting against each other's wiring and start leveraging it. Faster decisions, less conflict, more energy for the work that matters.

The six types — you'll discover yours during the workshop.
