Topic: The 6 Types of Working Genius 

Where process meets proclivity. This session serves as an introduction to Patrick Lencioni's model used to identify an individual's natural gifts in the workplace (and beyond). When team members are empowered to lean into their areas of strength, we find energy and fulfillment -- and even joy. Lencioni is a bestselling author (The Five Dysfunctions of a Team) and expert in team development and organizational health. His 2022 book, The 6 Types of Working Genius, paired with its accompanying assessment tools, has quickly become helpful to all varieties of organizations, changing the way people think about their teams.
