The 6 Types of Working Genius: A Better Way to Understand Your Gifts, Your Frustrations, and Your Team
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 page-turning 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.

Too much religion, accompanying assessment was about skills not joy, which is exactly the opposite of the point of the book.
This book was a short, easy to digest book that was in story format for most of the book. The conversation and story format made it a fun read. I loved the content in the book and although it took me a little bit to apply the knowledge in the book to my own life, it certainly got me there for the theory that it was teaching me. I found myself thinking, “why is he going on about this again”, or “why do I need to know that?”. But I would understand later why he had mentioned something. I was able to apply the theory in my life at work and it helped me understand why I might feel frustrated sometimes at work or burned out.
