If you’ve been around the Catalyst Development team for any amount of time you have likely heard us say “The best type of leader is a self-aware leader”. This is why when the Working Genius assessment debuted in 2020, Dr. Ervin knew she had to become certified in this productivity tool. Unlike other personality assessments, The Working Genius is 80% productivity and 20% personality, allowing participants to understand their natural energy cadence related to tasks.

The 6 types of Working Genius is a new model that helps people discover their natural gifts and thrive in their work and life. When people are able to better understand the types of work that bring them more energy and fulfillment and avoid work that leads to frustration and failure, they can be more self-aware, more productive and more successful.

Working Genius identifies the six fundamental activities that are required for any type of work and provides a simple framework for how work gets done. Too many people feel frustrated, underutilized, or misunderstood at work. Far too many teams experience failure, feel stuck, or are confused because they don’t know how to tap into the people around them.

The Working Genius is changing the way people think about their work and teams, and is leading to more dignified, fulfilled, and successful work.
