AmericanHort Grow Forward: Prevent Burnout with Working Genius

Every team runs into two familiar frustrations: some tasks feel effortless while others drain us and even great ideas stall somewhere between conception and completion.

The Working Genius model, developed by Patrick Lencioni, gives teams a shared language for understanding why that happens and a practical way to work better together.

This session introduces the model’s foundations to attendees in a fast-paced, discussion-rich format. No assessment is required; participants will leave with a working understanding of the framework they can apply immediately, and a foundation for taking the full assessment later if their organization chooses.

You’ll learn:

• The Three Stages of Work: how every project or initiative moves through Ideation, Activation, Implementation and why teams stall when a stage is under-resourced or rushed.
• An Overview of Working Genius: the six types of genius (Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement and Tenacity), what energizes vs. drains each of us, and how to spot genius, competency and frustration in ourselves and colleagues.
• The Altitude of Work: how the model applies at three different levels — organizational strategy, team projects and individual meetings — so participants can use it beyond a single team, in whatever role they hold.
