This trending work by Lencioni puts the focus on how work gets done

If you’ve recently heard rumblings around “working genius” — you’re not alone. This simple and practical framework identifies six distinct working geniuses, shedding light on how individuals contribute most effectively to a team. You’ll find the book more than a theoretical exercise — it provides actionable insights that can be immediately applied to improve team collaboration and productivity. 

The first time I sat in a Working Genius group session, I was impressed by how quickly the conversation shifted from being about the strengths of the individual to how the team worked together, and how readily the participants were able to apply the concepts. 

It’s simple, and it’s powerful.  

The emphasis on self-awareness and understanding the strengths of others creates a valuable foundation for building high-performing teams. 

Pros — You’ll be impressed by how accessible, relatable, and effective this framework is, and how quickly you realize your return on investment. 

Cons — Not everyone is a fan of Lencioni’s fables, but his time-tested approach has proven effective.
