Synopsis

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 the 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.

Mixed thoughts on this one. This book is essentially two parts so I’ll look at each part individually. The first part is a 170 page fable. My biggest question here- why? Why include a 170 page fable that doesn’t at all help me to better understand the model you’re presenting? On top of that, the writ......more

Goodreads review by Claire on January 09, 2023

I found the actual explaining of the model that the author came up with (the last 50 pages) extremely insightful!! The reason I give it a 2 is because of the first *175* pages of an unfortunately cringey fable he uses to go along with the model…when in reality he ends up describing the model in a pe......more

The 6 Types of Working Genius is an incredible business read to help you figure out how to get your team motivated and in the right jobs. This book starts with Patrick telling the story of how him and his team came up with the six types of working geniuses. It's not until the last couple of chapters......more

Goodreads review by Bill on October 14, 2022

Patrick Lencioni (The Advantage, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, etc.) is one of my favorite authors. His latest book - The 6 Types of Working Genius - follows his usual format: the first part is a fable that provides a fictional—but realistic—story around Working Genius and its application. The se......more
