5. The Three Phases

The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni

NOTE

How all the geniuses are needed in all industries

Every job, team, and industry requires a combination of all six types of working genius: Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity. Even in a factory setting, where execution is the primary focus, having individuals who can contribute to the ideation phase and question current processes is crucial. Without this, companies risk being outpaced by competitors who invest in innovation. Conversely, in a think tank, the emphasis is less on execution and more on thinking and idea generation. However, regardless of the industry or job, all six types of working genius are necessary to achieve success. Implementation may be the most visible and time-consuming type of work, but Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity are all indispensable in accomplishing tasks and goals.
