Leading Through Your Genius with Allie Jones
Leadership coach Allie Jones from Iowa explores how Patrick Lencioni’s Six Types of Working Genius can transform how teams function and thrive. We discuss how aligning people with their natural “genius zones” fuels engagement, impact, and joy at work.
Allie breaks down the six types — from ideation to implementation — and how knowing where you thrive (and where you struggle) can change the way you lead, collaborate, and create results.
The Working Genius Framework is not just a self-awareness tool, but a practical roadmap for team harmony and productivity. Allie explains how many teams over-index on certain types of genius while neglecting others, which can lead to frustration and stalled execution.
Allie gives tangible examples of how leaders can rebalance teams, tailor job descriptions, and rethink hiring by identifying which geniuses are missing from the mix.
Her takeaway is powerful: well-rounded teams outperform well-rounded individuals every time.
