Working Genius: Boost Team Productivity and Engagement
Fastest and Simplest Tool To Improve Your Team's Productivity and Engagement
We believe that understanding what truly energizes and drains your team is key to unlocking exceptional performance. The Working Genius Assessment is a game-changing tool that helps leaders and teams discover their natural talents and align them with their work for maximum impact.
Why Choose the Working Genius Assessment?
We incorporate the Working Genius Assessment into our executive coaching and team performance programs to help leaders:
- Improve Communication: Understand and respect each team member's genius, reducing misunderstandings and fostering collaboration.
- Maximize Productivity: Align individual strengths with tasks, ensuring that team members work in roles that energize and motivate them.
- Resolve Conflicts: Identify where breakdowns in productivity or communication may occur based on different working styles and turn conflict into confluence.

What Sets Working Genius Assessment Apart?
The Working Genius Assessment is 20% personality and 80% productivity.
Simplicity is at the core of the Working Genius model. It breaks down all types of work into six fundamental activities, making it easy for individuals and teams to quickly identify which types of work energize them and which drain their energy. This clarity allows people to focus on their strengths and thrive in their roles.
What truly differentiates Working Genius from other tools is its direct application to work. While most personality assessments help people understand their natural tendencies, they often stop short of showing how those traits can be applied in a practical work environment. Working Genius fills this gap by not only helping individuals understand their natural talents but also showing teams how to leverage those strengths to improve dynamics, streamline projects, enhance meetings, and make smarter hiring decisions.
In essence, Working Genius is more than just a personality assessment—it's also a productivity tool for teams. It’s the fastest and simplest way to uncover your gifts, apply them to real work scenarios, and transform both individual and team performance. 
By understanding which of the six Working Geniuses—Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity—you naturally excel at, you can leverage your team's collective potential and ensure everyone is contributing in the areas where they thrive.
This assessment helps leaders and teams:
- Understand why they have been successful or unsuccessful in past endeavors.
- Clarify which types of work give them joy and energy, and which types are draining and difficult.
- Avoid making unfair judgments about each other’s motivation, fostering a more supportive team dynamic.
- Alleviate guilt over struggles with certain types of work, helping team members embrace their strengths.
- Improve dialogue and directives in team meetings by better understanding each other’s working styles.
- Make quick, concrete adjustments to roles and responsibilities, tapping into each other’s strengths and minimizing weaknesses.
- Get more done in less time by aligning tasks with individual talents and avoiding unnecessary friction.
With the Working Genius Assessment, you can gain deeper insights into your team, build more cohesive relationships, and drive sustained productivity and engagement.
