Intrapeneurship & The Six Types of Working Genius - Enablement — the genius that clears the path and makes progress possible.
Every superhero squad has the one who doesn’t crave attention — but without them, the mission would implode somewhere around step two.
#Wonder sparks the question,
#Invention builds the idea,
#Discernment tests it,
and #Galvanizing rallies the team…
But what happens when it’s time to actually get it off the ground?
That’s when the Genius of #Enablement enters the chat — the backstage hero that makes it all possible — with sleeves rolled up and a look that says, “How can I help?” 🎭🛠️
Enablement might not steal the spotlight — but every #InsideInnovator knows they’re the secret weapon. This #intrapreneur has a sixth sense for when and how to jump in, saying things like:
✅ “I can take that off your plate.”
✅ “You forgot the adapter again, didn’t you? I brought two.”
✅ “I’m in — what do we need to move this forward?”
They’re not in it for glory — they’re in it to get it done.
Their superpower? Making other people’s momentum actually work.
But even the most reliable Enabler needs a crew:
✓ Without Wonder or Invention, they’re enabling… well, nothing.
✓ Without Discernment, they might back a beautifully supported bad idea.
✓ Without Galvanizing, they may never know where their help is needed.
✓ And without Tenacity, things still risk dying in the land of half-done.
Enablement is not about saying “yes” to everything — it’s about being the right kind of yes at the right time. Think Alfred to Batman. Sam to Frodo. The intern to the entire marketing department.🧙
Does your team have someone like that?
If so, treat them like the legend they are (and maybe bring them coffee).☕
