The Six Types of Working Genius™ and The Five Dysfunctions of a Team©
At PointerWise, our organizational development consultants follow the published models of renowned organizational development author Patrick Lencioni: Working Genius™ and The Five Dysfunctions©.
Teambuilding with The Six Types of Working Genius™
As described by New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni in his new book, The Six Types of Working Genius™ (2022), we are all born with natural “geniuses” and “frustrations” in how we connect with work. Understanding (and admitting to ourselves and each other) how different types of meetings and project work either bring us joy or drain us dry is a game-changer in team productivity. As Certified Facilitators, we can offer each member of your team an individual assessment debriefing, provide the team with its unique “team map” and deliver an insightful, energizing workshop on leveraging the power of natural gifts and minimizing burnout.
Improving Productivity with The Five Dysfunctions of a Team©
In his best-selling book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni identified the five fundamental behaviors of high performing teams as: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Attention to Results. Research studies both before and after the book show that to find that “moment of lift” when productivity soars, every team needs these five fundamental behaviors. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team© is a deeply engaging, informative, and interactive program that can literally transform your team’s effectiveness overnight.

The PointerWise Difference
There Are a Lot of Organizational Development Consultants
– Here’s How We’re Different
1
Real People. Real Talk.
Listening First.
We coach leaders and facilitate teams on courageously sitting together and “talking real” about trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results. We know how to listen simply, plainly, and powerfully to connect with people, and to help them connect with each other, from the manufacturing floor to the boardroom to the kitchen table office. It’s all about listening first, last, and in between.
2
Simple
We reduce the noise and help employers listen, see, focus, avoid overwhelm, and act where it matters most. Listening is actually simple. Reporting what you heard so good decisions can be made can also be simple. That’s the essence of what we do.
3
Actionable
We report what we find in plain language that’s clear, unequivocal, and actionable. After all, you’re not paying for a dissertation. Don’t measure and do nothing (or worse, do something fake). The point is authentic action. (And if action hasn’t been the point, that’s why you need us!)
4
Cost and Value
Price matters. We are upfront and clear about our hourly rates for investigations and flat fees for our other services. We add value consistently and have standing clients of all sizes, shapes, and locations. We can give you the “leg up” you need to lead organizational greatness without the mind-numbing bureaucracy, annoying big, fat “ball of yarn” lists and visuals, consultant doublespeak, and over-priced glossy fliers that you may have come to expect.
5
NEUTRALITY
We honor every person’s need to be respected and valued in whatever process we undergo, even if that person is the target of a complaint or feels uncomfortable about the process.
Who Are We?
PointerWise is a consulting company that helps organizations listen to their employees in different ways. We investigate to discern objective facts. We survey subjective opinions, beliefs, lived experiences, philosophies, and styles that can block positive workplace culture and team cohesion. We mediate stubborn workplace conflicts, coach leaders, and facilitate workplace teambuilding. As mother-daughter co-founders we know how a great team can produce great results—it is our honor to help people and companies realize their potential.
“Through PointerWise, We have the great honor of sharing our time and talents with individuals, teams, and organizations in need of evidence-based support for making the best decisions possible and charting the path forward.”
– Andi Farrant, Co-Founder and Head of Operations
