The Working Genius Workshop

The 6 Types of Working Genius is a simple and powerful model that helps teams understand how work gets done.

Developed by Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group, the model identifies six types of work that are required in every project and initiative.

When teams understand these six stages and how each person contributes, collaboration becomes far more effective.

The goal of the workshop is clarity.

Clarity about how work happens.
Clarity about how each person contributes.
Clarity about how the team can move work forward together.

What Teams Discover

During the workshop participants discover their personal Working Genius profile.

Each person learns:

The two types of work that bring them the most energy
The types of work that feel neutral
The types of work that consistently drain them

This insight helps teams distribute work more effectively and appreciate how each person contributes.

It also helps explain common frustrations that teams experience during projects.

What Teams Gain

Teams leave the workshop with practical insights they can apply immediately.

Greater self awareness
Stronger appreciation for teammates
Clearer collaboration during projects
More productive meetings
Better alignment of work and energy

Many teams say the framework becomes a shared language they use long after the workshop ends.

Workshop Format

Workshops can be designed for leadership teams, departments, or full organizations.

Typical formats include:

Half day workshop
Full day workshop
Virtual or in person sessions

Each participant completes the Working Genius assessment before the workshop.

The session itself includes teaching, reflection, discussion, and practical application.

The experience is engaging and interactive while also providing meaningful insight.

Who This Is For

The Working Genius workshop is valuable for:

Leadership teams
Growing companies
Departments or functional teams
Organizations navigating change
Teams that want to collaborate more effectively

If your team has ever asked questions like these, the workshop can help.

Why do our projects stall halfway through
Why do meetings drain so much energy
Why do some people feel overwhelmed while others feel underused

The Working Genius framework brings clarity to these challenges.
