What makes galvanizing more disruptive than other Working Geniuses?
In episode 93 of the Working Genius Podcast, Pat and Cody explore why galvanizing is the most disruptive of all the Working Geniuses. They unpack the nature of galvanizing as the only Genius that necessarily involves moving others, making it uniquely powerful—and often misunderstood. Through stories and reflection, they highlight the challenges and the essential value of galvanizers in any team or organization.
Topics explored in this episode:
(0:40) Why Galvanizing Disrupts by Nature
* Unlike other Geniuses, galvanizing cannot happen in isolation—it always affects others.
(4:33) Galvanizing
* People with galvanizing as a frustration often avoid rallying others or making requests.
* Teams without galvanizers struggle to gain momentum.
(7:25) Real-Life Galvanizing
* Cody shares a college story of galvanizing classmates.
* Even unpopular actions can be valuable when driven by a galvanizing instinct.
(11:14) Galvanizing Paired with Other Geniuses
* Adding G to any Genius makes the combination more action-oriented.
* Certain Genius pairings, like IG or GT, can help breakthrough change.
(15:03) Leading and Conviction
* Sometimes conviction or leadership can be mistaken for galvanizing.
