Do you ever feel like work shouldn’t be this hard?
Even when you love what you do, some tasks just drain you. Others light you up. The Working Genius model helps you understand why—and how to design your work and team around what gives you energy and purpose.
What Is Working Genius?
Developed by Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group, the Working Genius model identifies six types of “genius” that show up in every successful project. Each of us has two that come naturally, two that are competencies, and two that are frustrations.
Understanding your unique combination can transform how you:
-
Approach your work with more clarity and confidence
-
Communicate and collaborate with your team
-
Build momentum and reduce burnout
Whether you’re an individual contributor or leading a team, Working Genius provides a practical framework for bringing more joy, productivity, and alignment into everyday work.
How It Works
1. Take the Assessment
The Working Genius Assessment takes only 10-15 minutes to complete. Get immediate insights into your unique geniuses and working frustrations, with a tailored report.
2. Debrief with a Certified Coach
Schedule a personalized 60-minute session with Allie Jones, a Certified Working Genius Facilitator. Together, you’ll unpack your results, explore patterns in your work and leadership, and identify practical ways to align your genius with your goals.
3. Experience More Joy & Productivity
When you and your team are operating in your geniuses, work flows more easily, collaboration improves, and results follow. Rediscover what it feels like to work in your zone—and to lead others there too.
