The 6 Types of Working Genius: A Better Way to Understand Your Gifts, Your Frustrations, and Your Team

by Patrick M. Lencioni Narrated by Ray Porter

Overview

New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni unveils a truly groundbreaking new model that will change the way we think about work and teams forever.
The 6 Types of Working Genius is the fastest way to help people identify the type of work that brings them joy and energy-and avoid work that leads to frustration and burnout.
Beyond the personal discovery and instant relief that the Working Genius provides, the model also gives teams a remarkably simple and practical framework for tapping into one another's natural gifts, which increases productivity and reduces unnecessary judgment.
In classic Lencioni fashion, Pat brings his model to life in a page-turning fable that is as relatable as it is compelling. He tells the story of Bull Brooks, an entrepreneur, husband, and father, who sets out to solve his own frustration at
work and stumbles into a new way of thinking that changes the way he sees his work, his team, and even his marriage.
What sets this book-and the model behind it-apart from other tools and assessments is the speed at which it can be understood and applied, and the relevance it has to every kind of work in life, from running a company to launching a product to managing a family.

Ray Porter's showmanship works well with this audiobook's extended introductory fable, as well as its more didactic chapters. The business author's latest audiobook focuses on personality types and how they match the job requirements of any organizational role. Written with Lencioni's engaging charm and full of memorable insights, this amiable guide describes six distinct types of talent and the jobs that require them. Roles range from those needing creativity and discernment to those that benefit from discipline or tenacity. He says most of us have two of the six job types that give us joy and energy, two that we perform well but have neutral appeal, and two that drain the life out of us. Enlightening guidance for anyone in the wrong job for their type. T.W. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
