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.
