Are your projects getting stuck? Is your team burned out? It happens. And it might be because you aren't tapping into their natural genius and building the most effective, efficient and - yes, even JOYFUL - teams! We can help.

 

The 6 Types of Working Genius can help your team increase productivity and morale.

The Working Genius is Patrick Lencioni's newest teamwork model, which helps people understand how they can contribute to work most effectively. This tool can help individuals, leaders and teams better leverage one another's strengths and understand how to be both productive and fulfilled at work. The real power of Working Genius comes when a team learns about each other, understands their Working Genius team profile and truly adopts the framework and applies it to help every member of the team find more engagement and success in their work.

A certified Working Genius Facilitator will guide your team through taking the online assessment, help you understand your results, and challenge your team to put what they've learned into practice. This engagement is designed to help you leverage and apply the Working Genius model in real-time work settings.

 

Putting it into practice.

We’ve all taken various leadership and personality surveys and assessments throughout our careers. Many are helpful to the individual, but rarely have they been applied in tangible ways in the work environment in order to make a real difference. That’s why DBD Group has embraced the Working Genius Model and developed a facilitated process for teams to leverage their what they’ve learned about themselves through the Assessment and apply it in tangible ways. In fact, our team has all taken the assessment and have implemented change based on what we learned about ourselves and our team. In short, we can build better work teams, building on our collective and individual geniuses.

We are ready to make that facilitation process available to you to help build cohesive and productive teams using The 6 Types of Working Genius.

DBD Group’s process can help your team:

  • Understand why they have been successful or unsuccessful in past endeavors.
  • Clarify which types of work give joy and energy and which types are draining and difficult.
  • Avoid making unfair and inaccurate judgments about one another's motivation.
  • Alleviate guilt about struggles people have with certain types of work.
  • Improve dialogue and directives in team meetings.
  • Make quick and concrete adjustments to roles and responsibilities to better tap into one another's strengths, and avoid one another's weaknesses.
  • Get more done in less time.

DBD Group's Michele Goodrich* will develop a customized plan for your organization to provide practical applications and help your team be more fulfilled, less frustrated and more productive!
