The Six Types of Working Genius
A Better Way to Understand Your Gifts, Your Frustrations, and Your Team
Book • 2023
In this book, Patrick Lencioni introduces a framework that categorizes individuals into six types of working geniuses: Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity.
These geniuses are aligned with different stages of work—ideation, activation, and implementation—and highlight the importance of recognizing and leveraging individual strengths to enhance productivity and job satisfaction.
Lencioni argues that when people work within their natural talents, they experience greater fulfillment and success, and teams become more effective and collaborative.
The book also emphasizes the need to design roles around individuals’ working geniuses rather than traditional task-based job descriptions.
