What is Working Genius?

Working Genius is a powerful teamwork model developed by Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group that helps individuals discover their unique strengths and natural giftings.

 

This innovative tool creates greater self-awareness for individuals, leaders, and teams by revealing each person's natural gifts and preferred ways of working. When teams understand these individual strengths, they can work together more effectively, assign tasks more strategically, and create an environment where everyone can thrive.

The result? Enhanced collaboration, increased productivity, and significantly higher job satisfaction—transforming the daily work experience from merely functional to truly fulfilling.

  • Enhance employee engagement and motivation
  • Foster deeper connections, joy, and meaningful work experiences
  • Strengthen workplace relationships
  • Drive higher productivity and performance outcomes
  • Create a culture free from judgment and unnecessary guilt
  • Develop high-performing, collaborative teams
  • Facilitate more effective and purposeful meetings
  • Strengthen recruitment and talent acquisition processes

How does it work?

Individual Assessments

Each team member completes a quick 15 minute online assessment through a secure link provided by The People Factor. This evaluation provides a complete profile identifying their two "Working Geniuses", two "Working Competencies", and two "Working Frustrations."

Leadership Prep Session

Before the team session, the team leader receives a personalized debrief that includes both individual and team insights, plus an overview of the upcoming workshop. This preparation ensures leadership is equipped to maximize the team experience and sustain long-term results.

Using your teams collective assessment data, we create a "Team Map" that visually displays your teams collective strengths and identifies gaps in effectiveness. During the engaging, interactive workshop your team discovers how to leverage this powerful model for enhanced individual performance and stronger team collaboration.

Team Workshop

Following the team workshop, your leader participates in three focused 1-hour coaching sessions designed to support successful implementation. These personalized sessions help sustain momentum, address challenges, and ensure the Working Genius principles become integrated into your team's daily operations for lasting results.
