Have you ever considered what aspects of your work truly energize you and bring you the greatest satisfaction and joy? Imagine if you knew the answer to this question. How would that impact how you feel about your work? How significant would it be for you and your team to tap into the natural gifts of the people around you?
We’ve come to believe that The 6 Types of Working Genius by Patrick Lencioni is a business game-changer.
Lencioni sees that six work activities are fundamentally required for any type of work and assesses the energy, satisfaction, and joy we get from each work activity.
This simple yet powerful model shows us that of these six types of work, for each of us, two are those activities that energize us, our Working Geniuses; two are those activities that we can do well yet may not get a great deal of energy from, our Working Competencies; and two are those activities that deplete our energy, our Working Frustrations. What excites us about this model is that shifting the focus from tasks to the energy required to perform them holds great transformational potential.
We’ve found that working with organizations using this model increases motivation and engagement. This reshaping of our perceptions of work and teamwork can revolutionize how work is done and by whom, creating a more productive and profitable team.
If you’d like to identify your geniuses and know more about leveraging them, we’d love to connect – we can show you how this works for you and your team.
