School and district leaders are expected to guide vision, build strong teams, and deliver results, all while navigating constant change. But even the most dedicated teams can struggle when roles aren’t clear, strengths aren’t fully understood, or collaboration feels harder than it should.

That’s where the Working Genius model creates a breakthrough.

This simple, research-backed framework was developed by Patrick Lencioni and the Table Group. The Working Genius model identifies the six types of work required for any project and helps teams understand how each person naturally contributes. With this shared clarity, staff members communicate more effectively, collaborate with less friction, and approach their work with greater confidence and energy.

At CESO, our Working Genius-certified Leadership Consultants help districts put this model into action. Together, we’ll map your team’s collective strengths, uncover what drives momentum or what’s slowing it down, and create practical ways to align work with each person’s natural genius.

The result?

More cohesion. More efficiency. More joy in the work you do.
