Patrick M. Lencioni’s framework offers a fresh, practical lens for understanding how people contribute to work—and why some tasks energize while others drain.

In The 6 Types of Working Genius, Lencioni introduces a model that categorizes work into six distinct types of “genius”: Wonder, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity. Each person naturally excels in two areas, finds competency in two, and struggles in the remaining two. By identifying these zones, individuals and teams can align roles with strengths, reduce frustration, and boost productivity. Through relatable stories and actionable insights, Lencioni shows how understanding your working genius can transform collaboration, leadership, and job satisfaction. It’s a powerful tool for unlocking potential and building healthier, more effective teams
