Working Genius

Module 2B: Working Genius

As God leads us to work together as a whole in teams we need the diversity of all of God’s people. The Working Genius assessment helps us appreciate one another's gifts, leverage one another's strengths, and even bear with one another in Christian love. In this module, we'll be introduced to the Working Genius, and then use it to better understand one another and our teams.
