ADVICE

Borrowing a Genius

  • If your team lacks a specific Working Genius, try borrowing someone from another department who possesses it.
  • For example, someone with Ideation can help with brainstorming, but Galvanizing is harder to borrow because it's needed daily.
INSIGHT

Structural Substitutes

  • Bo doubts that structural substitutions, like handouts or dedicated meetings, effectively replace true Galvanizing.
  • He believes such solutions don't provide the necessary disruptive energy.
ADVICE

Visible Reminders

  • Use visible reminders, like a large sign displaying team priorities, to keep everyone focused.
  • Make it slightly edgy to create a sense of urgency and accountability.
