Working Genius

Patrick Lencioni at The Table Group

Hands down this was the most powerful assessment tool I’ve ever used. As a leader, gaining insight into your team’s God-given gifts along with those areas that might cause frustration, is a game changer. It allowed my team and I to better understand what types of work increase our energy vs the type of work that might be draining. It then allowed us to recalibrate and ultimately work better as a team. We also learned that as a team we had a high concentration of colleagues with the genius of Tenacity, but no one on the team had the genius of Wonder. This raised our awareness to the fact that though we were exceptional at getting stuff done, we likely weren’t creating space to brainstorm, dream and create. So, with intentionality, we began creating that space to ensure we spent time in Wonder and that we sought out colleagues that had this gift. Total Game Changer!!!

Created by Patrick Lencioni of the Table Group, this powerful assessment tool provides you with insight into your gifts, your frustrations and your team. It's different from other models in that it distills any kind of work down to six fundamental activities. And in relatively short order, it helps you identify the type of work that makes you thrive.


With the Working Genius, not only do you walk away with a greater understanding of the type of work that makes you thrive, but it also provides teams with a better way to think about their dynamics, projects, meetings, and even their hiring. 


Working Genius is part personality assessment and part productivity tool for teams. The Table Group states that it's the simplest and fastest way to discover your gifts and transform your life. Based on my and my team's experience with the tool, I 100% agree!
