Working Genius
What is Working Genius?
The Six Types of Working Genius is a team profiling tool developed by Patrick Lencioni. By understanding your own profile, you will find a new way of looking at your own working styles and teamwork. The model is useful for team building and developing teamwork, recruitment, as well as for organizing your day-to-day work.
There are six types of Working Genius, all of which are necessary to get the work done. We all have two Working Geniuses, two Working Competences, and two Working frustrations.
- Working Genius shows your natural talent, which brings you joy and fulfilment. It is a constant source of energy.
- Working Competency shows you something you can do well, but you don't really use it. Over time, this will sap your energy.
- Working Frustration shows you what you are not comfortable with and what exhausts you, even if you have learned to use it.
At HR Plus, we have used Working Genius team profiling tool for 1.5 years. Our certified consultants help both individual clients and facilitatevat team workshopswhich focus on teamwork development.
Why Working Genius?
Individuals' self-awareness increases when their strengths and vulnerabilities are recognized.
Teamwork becomes easier when you are aware of your own and others' strengths and know how to harness them.
Work can be organized more efficiently - after all, this is a productivity tool.
Efficiency and work well-being increase in the organization.
Find your own genius
The individual report is based on an individual assessment, which takes about 10 minutes to complete. At HR Plus, we have translated the questionnaire into Finnish. The individual report shows your geniuses, competences and frustrations. The assessment provides a guide to identify what kind of work gives you energy and what drains you.
