Created by Patrick Lencioni (author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team), Working Genius is a fast, powerful assessment that helps you identify the stages of work that energise or exhaust you.
It outlines six “types” of working genius — Wonder, Discernment, Enablement, Galvanising, Advancement, and Tenacity — and shows which ones come naturally to you, and which don’t.
