THRIVE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS:

The 6 Types of Working Geniuses

At Thrive Business Solutions, we know that success is built on the foundation of a strong, well-balanced team. Every individual brings something unique to the table, but too often, organizations don’t fully tap into those unique talents. That’s where the 6 Types of Working Geniuses comes in—a transformative framework developed by Patrick Lencioni to help teams identify and harness their natural abilities for maximum productivity and satisfaction. By understanding the diverse strengths of your team members, you can unlock new levels of performance, collaboration, and efficiency.

What Are the 6 Types of Working Geniuses?

The 6 Types of Working Geniuses framework breaks down team members into six distinct categories, each representing a core strength. These aren’t just work habits—they are fundamental areas where people naturally excel and feel fulfilled. By organizing tasks and responsibilities based on these working geniuses, you can create an environment where your team thrives.

WONDER

Those with the genius of Wonder are the deep thinkers and idea generators of your team. They are constantly asking the "why" and "what if" questions, seeking clarity and insight in complex situations. People with this genius see possibilities that others might miss, and they excel at spotting gaps, inefficiencies, or opportunities for growth and improvement. This gift makes them invaluable for long-term visioning and innovation.

DISCERNMENT

The genius of Discernment is the gift of intuitive insight and practical judgment. People with this genius have an uncanny ability to assess ideas, situations, and plans with accuracy, often knowing instinctively what will work and what won’t. They are the voices of reason and critical thinking, able to help teams cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters.

GALVANIZING

Individuals with the genius of Galvanizing are the driving force behind team momentum. They naturally motivate others, rallying the group around a shared vision or project and pushing them toward action. These are the people who don’t just talk about doing things—they inspire others to get things done. Their enthusiasm is contagious, making them ideal for leadership roles or spearheading major initiatives.

ENABLEMENT

The genius of Enablement is all about support and service. Individuals with this gift thrive on helping others succeed, providing what’s needed to move a project forward. They’re the ones who say, “How can I help?” and genuinely mean it. Whether through direct assistance, guidance, or resources, people with this genius ensure that the wheels keep turning and that team members have what they need to succeed.

TENACITY

Those with the genius of Tenacity have the drive and determination to see projects through to completion. They are focused on results, and they find deep satisfaction in achieving goals and getting things done. They’re not satisfied until everything is wrapped up, and they thrive on making sure that all the boxes are checked. Their diligence and attention to detail make them the team’s ultimate closer.

INVENTION

The genius of Invention is the spark of creativity and problem-solving. People with this genius love to create, whether it’s new ideas, processes, or solutions. They thrive in situations where innovation is needed, and they excel at finding fresh ways to approach challenges. Their unique ability to think outside the box makes them the go-to people when the team is stuck or in need of a breakthrough idea.

Why Leveraging These Geniuses Can Transform Your Business:

Understanding the 6 Types of Working Geniuses isn’t just an academic exercise—it’s a game-changer for businesses.

When people are doing work that energizes them, they’re happier, more engaged, and more likely to contribute to the team’s success. With the 6 Types of Working Geniuses framework, you can reduce burnout, increase retention, and create a more positive workplace culture.

Our Approach: Bringing the 6 Types of Working Geniuses to Life in Your Business

At Thrive Business Solutions, we go beyond theory. Our approach is hands-on and practical, guiding you through every step of the process:

  • Assessment and Discovery:  We start by working with your team to identify each individual’s working geniuses through comprehensive assessments and consultations. This is a powerful self-awareness tool that helps your team members understand where they shine and how they can best contribute to the team.
  • Team Alignment: Once we’ve identified the working geniuses, we’ll work with you to realign roles and responsibilities, ensuring that each team member is operating in their genius zone. This restructuring not only increases productivity but also fosters a sense of fulfillment and purpose within the team.
  • Ongoing Coaching: Our partnership doesn’t end with the initial assessment. We provide ongoing coaching and support to help your team continue to grow, develop, and thrive using the 6 Types of Working Geniuses framework. Whether through team-building exercises, leadership development, or problem-solving workshops, we’re here to ensure that your business remains on the path to success.
