Genius: Unlocking Team Productivity and Personal Fulfilment.
The Six Types of Working Genius is an assessment tool designed to identify an individual’s natural gifts and areas of strength in the workplace. Its primary goal is to help individuals and teams understand where they excel and where they may struggle, leading to greater productivity, job satisfaction, and team effectiveness. The assessment identifies six distinct “working geniuses,“ which represent various stages of work: Wonder, Discernment, Galvanising, Enablement, Tenacity, and Invention. Participants discover which of these areas are their natural strengths (genius), areas of competence, and areas of frustration. This insight helps individuals and teams align tasks with their strengths, optimizing performance and engagement.
Team Building: Ensuring that teams have a balanced mix of working geniuses to maximize efficiency and collaboration.
Leadership Development: Helping leaders understand their strengths and delegate tasks effectively based on team members’ geniuses.
Talent Management: Aligning roles and responsibilities with individuals’ working geniuses to boost job satisfaction and productivity.
Personal Growth: Empowering individuals to focus on their areas of genius and reduce frustration in their work life. The Six Types of Working Genius assessment generates a personalized report that highlights an individual’s working geniuses, areas of competence, and frustrations. The report includes actionable insights on how to apply these findings to improve teamwork and job satisfaction. Feedback sessions help individuals and teams implement the results effectively, leading to more fulfilling and productive work environments.
Primary Focus: The Leadership Versatility Index (LVI) is a 360-degree feedback tool designed to help leaders develop a more adaptable and balanced leadership style. Unlike traditional assessments, the LVI evaluates leaders on their ability to flex between opposing yet complementary behaviors—such as forceful vs. enabling leadership or strategic vs. operational focus. By highlighting overuse or underuse of specific leadership traits, the LVI provides actionable insights that help leaders fine-tune their approach for greater impact. Widely used in executive coaching and leadership development, it fosters well-rounded leadership that drives organizational success.
Profile Report: The LVI Assessment provides a comprehensive view of a leader’s effectiveness, versatility, and areas for development. The goal is to help leaders achieve balance and adaptability, ensuring they are not overly forceful, enabling, strategic, or operational at the wrong time.
