Michael Dueck

Michael Dueck is the partner leaders call when they are done guessing about why their teams stall out. He works at the level where culture, execution, and human wiring collide, using The Six Types of Working Genius model from Patrick Lencioni to expose what actually drives or drains people at work. In environments where talent is high but progress is uneven, he shows leaders the hard truth most miss: it is not a skills problem, it is a misalignment between how people are built and how the work flows.

His edge is ruthless clarity. Michael drills into how each person is naturally wired, then maps that directly to the real work on the table. Through sharp diagnostics and plain spoken conversations, he helps leaders see who should be doing what, where burnout is about to break out, and which gaps are quietly capping performance. The result is teams that stop tripping over guilt, judgment, and role confusion, and start operating as a clean, complementary unit that can actually sustain high output.

In high pressure moments, Michael brings calm, practical direction and zero theatrics. He creates a room where people tell the truth, get specific, and leave with decisions they can execute on Monday morning. Leaders who work with him walk away with a team that collaborates without drama, understands why each person matters, and has the structure to stay healthy when demands spike. When the stakes are real and you need your people fully engaged instead of quietly burning out, you want Michael in the conversation.
