Understanding the 6 Types of Working Genius for Individual and Team Productivity

Every person brings a distinct set of strengths to their work — but without the right framework, those strengths often go unrecognized, misapplied or overlooked entirely. The result: unnecessary friction, disengaged team members and unrealized potential.

In this 90-minute professional development webinar, Certified Working Genius Facilitator Jolene Rieck introduces Patrick Lencioni's 6 Types of Working Genius — a practical, proven framework that helps individuals and teams quickly identify where work creates energy and momentum, and where it quietly creates stress.

Working Genius focuses on what you do best — the core activities that fuel productivity. Together we’ll explore the six types — Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement and Tenacity — and gain clarity on your own areas of genius, competency and frustration.

You’ll leave with the ability to:

• Recognize your individual areas of genius, competency and frustration
• Understand how the six stages of work interact within a team setting
• Reduce misunderstandings and better align tasks to the people best suited for them
• Apply the framework to meetings, projects and team workflows to move ideas from concept to execution more efficiently
