Working Genius + Individual and Team Skills
Wonder, Discernment, Enablement, Invention, Galvanizing, and Tenacity are the six types of geniuses required for any flourishing work endeavor. Each of us has two areas considered our Working Geniuses, two considered our Working Frustrations, and two considered our known Working Competencies.
Developed by Patrick Lencioni and his team at The Table Group, Working Genius helps teams distill their work into six fundamental activities, heightening strategic collaboration and elevating productivity.
Led by Align Founder and Certified Working Genius Practitioner Liz Ashley, the Working Genius model helps teams better understand how they contribute individually, why teamwork is essential, and how to reduce burnout and increase morale. The assessment reveals what energizes and deflates you.
