What is the Working Genius Model?
The Six Types of Working Genius developed by Patrick Lencioni, is an intuitive team profiling tool that helps individuals and teams uncover their natural talents and working styles.
By identifying your unique profile, the model provides actionable insights into how you work and collaborate.
Key Applications of the Working Genius Model:
- Team building: Tunnista tiimin vahvuudet ja paranna yhteistyötä.
- Recruitment: decisions to align talent with roles.
- Daily work organization: for increased efficiency.
In the model, each individual discovers their strengths (Working Genius), areas of competence (Working Competency), and frustrations (Working Frustration). This framework helps both individuals and teams to work more effectively and achieve their goals. At HR Plus, we have been using the Working Genius tool for 1.5 years, and our certified consultants support individuals and teams in applying the model through workshops and assessments."
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.
The Six Types of Working Genius
The Six Types of Working Genius categorize the stages of work into distinct talents essential for productivity and success. Each individual thrives in some areas while finding others more challenging:
- Wonder (W): The ability to ask big questions, identify potential, and sense opportunities for improvement.
- Invention (I): A creative talent for developing original solutions, ideas, and strategies to address challenges.
- Discernment (D)The skill to evaluate ideas, recognize patterns, and provide insightful judgment.
- Galvanizing (G): The knack for rallying others, motivating action, and driving projects forward.
- Enablement (E): A natural ability to provide support, assistance, and collaboration when needed.
- Tenacity (T): The persistence to complete tasks, ensure quality, and see work through to the finish line.
Each person has:
- Two Working Geniuses: Natural talents that energize them.
- Two Working Competencies: Skills they manage but may not love.
- Two Working Frustrations: Tasks that drain their energy
Understanding where you excel and where you struggle helps align your strengths to the right roles, improving both individual satisfaction and team performance.
