About Working Genius
Coined by Patrick Lencioni, Working Genius helps individuals and teams understand how they contribute best at work—where they naturally bring energy, and where work can feel draining over time.
It creates a shared language that can improve collaboration and help teams work more effectively together.
What to Expect
Many team challenges aren’t about effort, but rather mismatched expectations, unclear roles, or people spending too much time doing work that drains them.
| An understanding of how each person contributes best | Reduced friction caused by assumptions or misunderstandings | Better alignment around roles and responsibilities | Improved team health and productivity over time |
