Working Genius™ Will Change Your Life and Team for the Better
What is the Working Genius?
The Working Genius is a swift productivity tool by Patrick Lencioni that helps optimize team productivity. It identifies individual strengths and weaknesses across six work stages, revealing two top skills, two competencies, and two potential frustrations per person.
Unlike other tools, it emphasizes talents needed for task completion, benefiting organizations and boosting team morale. It assists team members in understanding their effective contribution at work.
Everyone has two geniuses, competencies, and frustrations, providing insight into their unique capabilities and work fulfillment.
