The Six Types of Working Genius

At the Valley Industrial Association (VIA), we believe that when people understand their natural gifts,  they thrive at work—and when teams understand one another’s gifts, they accomplish more together.    ​That’s why VIA offers The Six Types of Working Genius as an exclusive member benefit.   Developed by Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group, this powerful tool identifies each person’s two areas of Genius, two areas of Competency, and two areas of Frustration. With this insight, individuals and teams can work happier, be more effective, and find greater dignity in their work. 
​Why Working Genius Matters
People who know their Working Genius:
  • Avoid unfair or inaccurate judgments about coworkers’ motivations.
  • Release guilt over struggles that stem from misaligned responsibilities.
  • Make quick adjustments to align tasks with their strengths.
  • Get more done in less time by tapping into the right genius at the right stage.

​For teams, this means fewer misunderstandings, greater collaboration, and more energy directed toward results.
How It Works
  1. Schedule your Team Session with your VIA Facilitator - "Discover Your Team's Working Genius" Session 1 (90 Minutes - 2 Hours) ​*For Rate see below
  2. Take the Assessment – Your team will be sent a link so each participant can complete the 10-minute online assessment.
  3. Review Results – Each participant receives a 12 page report - to learn their unique Genius, Competency, and Frustration types.
  4. During the Team Training Session – Our facilitator will walk your group through your Team Map, showing how the six types align with the stages of work.
  5. Apply the Insights – Start using your Genius right away to improve meetings, projects, and collaboration.
  6. Schedule Follow up Sessions - There are two other sessions that you can book: Session 2: Making Genius Work in Real Life  & Session 3: Meetings that Actually Work.  Each of these can be delivered in person or virtually.  Price for each 60 minute session - $250 Members/Partners.  $950 for Non-Member.  Each of these sessions is customized for your group.
