Intrapreneurship & The Six Types of Working Genius - Discernment — the superpower that separates “brilliant” from “better luck next time!
After Invention comes the Genius of Discernment — the superpower that separates “brilliant” from “better luck next time!” 🦸♂️🛡️
An #intrapeneur with the Genius of Discernment has an almost spidey-sense for what will work and what won’t. They don’t just guess — they know when an idea feels strong, and they sense when something’s… off.
🦸♀️ They wield questions like a lightsaber, asking things like:
✅ “Does this idea really solve the root problem?”
✅ “Is this the right solution for right now?”
✅ “Have we thought about how this would actually play out?”
Discerners are the wise advisors every #insideinnovator needs — but (spoiler alert) even they can’t save the day alone:
✓ Without Wonder, they have nothing to evaluate.
✓ Without Invention, they might poke holes without offering a better way.
✓ Without Galvanizing, their wisdom could stay locked inside their own heads.
✓ Without Enablement, their insights might never make it into action.
✓ Without Tenacity, they might sense what’s right but never push it across the finish line.
That’s why savvy Discerners aren’t just critics — they’re coaches, guides, and secret weapons for intrapreneurship.
Is your team listening to the voices who can see around corners?
Next up: Galvanizing — the rallying cry that moves ideas (and people) into action. 🚴♂️ Stay tuned!
