Publisher's Summary

New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni unveils a truly groundbreaking new model that will change the way we think about work and teams forever.

The 6 Types of Working Genius is the fastest way to help people identify the type of work that brings them joy and energy, and avoid work that leads to frustration and burnout.

Beyond the personal discovery and instant relief that Working Genius provides, the model also gives teams a remarkably simple and practical framework for tapping into one another’s natural gifts, which increases productivity and reduces unnecessary judgment.

In classic Lencioni fashion, Pat brings his model to life in a thrilling fable that is as relatable as it is compelling. He tells the story of Bull Brooks, an entrepreneur, husband, and father who sets out to solve his own frustration at work and stumbles into a new way of thinking that changes the way he sees his work, his team, and even his marriage.

What sets this book—and the model behind it—apart from other tools and assessments is the speed at which it can be understood and applied, and the relevance it has to every kind of work in life, from running a company to launching a product to managing a family.

In addition to this book, Lencioni and the Table Group have created a 10-minute assessment that helps individuals quickly identify their gifts and apply this model to themselves and their teams. Join the hundreds of thousands of people who have already discovered their Working Genius, and experience the transformation in your work, your team, and your life.

This will change the way we work!

Absolutely loved the fable and the detailed explanation. Have already started implementing and sharing with others!

My only wish is that it was read by Pat!

Revelational and inspiring

I’ve always loved Lancioni’s writing and I’m not surprised that he’s nailed this behavioral model for working.

TEAM EFFECTIVENESS

Another practical tool for leaders and teams from Patrick Lencioni.

In true form, this fable tells the story of how a team discovers their preferences and effectiveness if they get to play to their Geniuses.

There are 6 Geniuses and we are likely to have one or two.
I'm about to take the test to audit my predictions!

Loved this book and have already recommended to clients.

Sorry Patrick but not your best work.

I’m a huge Lencioni fan and use the 5 Dysfunctions material constantly. I need to give this another go probably but deep diving into peoples strengths and avoiding difficult stuff might be a luxury in large corporate America but in small countries and small businesses we get stronger by toughing things out and persevering and I don’t doubt Pat also accepts the value in the struggle. The main character’s Dad jokes and humor were a little cringe and the muffin laden bosses wife a big risk these days. Not very woke but I actually like that. Keep going Pat, you’re great even if this book wasn’t for me.
