How can the Working Genius be applied to my team?

One of the trickiest parts of working in not-for-profit is engaging volunteers. The Working Genius asks the question, ‘What brings you joy and energy?’ When we engage a volunteer in a way that is meaningful to them they are far more likely to give their team whole-heartedly. The Working Genius can help you achieve far more than what you thought possible through practical application of a person’s God given Geniuses.
I have found only two scenarios in creative teams. They love working together or they hate working together! Like it or not, creative teams are made up of highly sensitve people. This gives them the ability to create masterpieces, but can also cause them to struggle working in teams. The Working Genius allows the creative team to discuss team issues in a way that is non-confrontational. Learning about the beauty and the shadow sides of one’s Genius helps us to understand how we react and what personal improvements we can adopt to increase team functionality.
You know you need a new staff member. So who is the right fit? The Working Genius maps your current team and spells out what type of person you need to hire. A skilled Working Genius facilitator can help you ensure your new hire has the right skills to complement your team. Don’t forget, your new hire isn’t just about their skills, but also about their fit in your organisation’s culture.
Using the Working Genius in your mentoring enables you to tailor your time together in a way that embraces their Genius and will have them leaving your office feeling motivated and valued.
Sales is a specific skill set that some people love and some people don’t. The Working Genius can help you to understand why some in your team excel and some don’t. It can help you to assign different parts of the sales process in a way that will maximise your teams Working Genius.
Did you know that current statistics show 2 out of 3 Australians will experience burn out in their lives? Astronomical! The Working Genius answers the question of burn out by finding out what brings a person joy and energy. Increasing joy and energy at work, decreases the likelihood of burnout. This understanding for our students will be invaluable as they enter a workforce which will look entirely different to the one I entered 25 years ago.

The old school model of teaching asked the teacher to be a one stop shop; to come up with the ideas, to make sure they will work, and then implement. In today’s fast paced World, schools are recognising that increased collaboration is required. The Working Genius will help people to understand why they are great at innovating, discerning or implementing. It will reduce guilt that results from perceived ineffectiveness and will increase team engagement as your staff are energised by their work.

The greatest difficulty in working remotely is creating a team culture. Misunderstandings and silos form easily when people are not working in close proximity. The Working Genius gives your remote team opportunity to laugh and learn together. It will help you develop positivity and cross silo divides. It communicates to your team that you value them and their Genius. It helps your people to understand why people communicate the way they do and thus reduce misunderstandings.
