Transform the Way You See Your Work and Your Team
 SIMPLE — FAST — PRACTICAL
Working Genius™ reveals how people are wired to contribute—and how work actually gets done—so leaders, teams, and organizations move faster with greater clarity and less friction.
Working Genius™ is a productivity model—showing the six fundamental activities of how work gets done. Individuals informed by individual assessments:
- Individuals understand what energizes them and how they can create their greatest impact.Â
- Leaders learn and leverage their team members’ natural strengths so work actually works.
- Teams communicate better, reduce frustration, and get more done with less friction.
At Strongside Principles, we help people build relational strength and strong teams, create healthy cultures, and lead with clarity and integrity. Working Genius™ is one of the core tools we use to improve effective communication and build healthier collaboration.
What Is Working Genius™?
It's a simple, fast, and highly practical assessment created by Patrick Lencioni's Table Group. It identifies the work that energizes each person and the work that drains them. Unlike traditional personality tools, Working Genius™ isn’t about labels—it’s about productivity and contribution.
Individuals find out:
- What kind of work brings fulfillment
- How they can add the greatest value
- Why certain tasks feel unusually draining
Leaders learn:
- Who gets energy from what
- Where work gets stuck
- Why good people experience unnecessary frustration
And teams discover:
- How to tap into one another's talents
- How to avoid inaccurate judgments about one another's motivation
- How to get more done in less time and with less frictionÂ

The Six Types of Working Genius™

When these activities are understood and aligned:
- Collaboration improves

- Execution accelerates
