A Better Way to Understand Your Gifts, Your Frustrations, and Your Team
The 6 Types of Working Genius by Patrick M. Lencioni helps you discover your unique genius - mastering one among six; wonder, invention, discernment, galvanizing, enablement, or tenacity - in the work you're passionate about and pursue meaningful work.
Why do most people dread the very thing they’ll spend a third of their adult life doing? You might know the feeling: the Sunday Blues kicks in, and you start worrying about next week’s assignments. In addition to the tedium of repetitive tasks, you also have to navigate colleagues dealing with their own issues.
Hard to discard, your annoyance tags along and makes its way into your home, relationships, family, and social circle.
What about people who’ve just gotten promoted or received a raise? Are they happier with their jobs? The short answer is no. There’s usually a buzz when someone gets a promotion – but soon enough, tedium writes its name on every paycheck.
A raise doesn’t usually raise morale in the long term. And when morale is low, the company stagnates. You might think that starting your own business and having all that control spares you misery, but many entrepreneurs deal with these issues too. Especially when they’re still trying to figure things out and don’t have enough steady hands to rely on.
Some of the problems around work are a result of bad choices, inadequate counseling, poor management, and people not fitting into the culture of their organizations.
But then there are people who are good at their jobs, have excellent relationships with their colleagues . . . and still have a nagging feeling of dissatisfaction.
So if a job, a raise, a promotion, and great colleagues can’t provide people with an exciting and fulfilling work life, then what is the problem?
The 6 Types of Working Genius (2022) is an illuminating guide to matching the right talent with the right task in the workplace. It also shows how to elevate your relationships with your colleagues – and provides concrete ways to transform your organization into a place people want to work for.
The 6 Types of Working Genius (2021) by Patrick M. Lencioni is a compelling book that helps individuals discover and maximize their unique talents in the workplace. Here's why this book is definitely worth reading:
