“People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.”
— George Bernard Shaw, playwright
Welcome back to our journey through the City of Lights, our metaphorical representation of the diverse roles in the corporate world. So far, we’ve explored the impact of Wonderers, Inventors, Discerners, Galvanizers, and Enablers. Today, let’s delve into the world of those who embody Tenacity, a crucial trait highlighted in Patrick Lencioni’s The Six Types of Working Genius.
As we wander through the streets of our ever-evolving city, let’s unravel the essence of Tenacity and understand why it’s indispensable for the vitality and resilience of our corporate community.
The Endurance Athletes of Our City
Individuals with Tenacity in our corporate city can be likened to the endurance athletes in a bustling urban marathon. They are the ones who, with unwavering determination and persistence, see projects through to completion. Just as a marathon runner pushes through the final miles, those with Tenacity in the workplace drive initiatives across the finish line, overcoming obstacles and fatigue.

The Guardians of Completion
Tenacity is about more than just persistence; it’s about a focused commitment to achieving goals. In our city, these individuals are the guardians of completion. They ensure that projects don’t just start with a burst of energy but are seen through to their successful end. Their role is crucial in a landscape where unfinished buildings and half-baked ideas can clutter the skyline.
Overcoming the Hurdles
Our city, much like any organization, faces its fair share of hurdles and challenges. People with Tenacity shine in these situations. They are the ones who, when faced with setbacks, dig in their heels and push forward. Their resolve and resilience are often the driving force that transforms potential failures into stories of success and learning.
The Momentum Sustainers
In the dynamic rhythm of our city, maintaining momentum is key. Tenacity plays a vital role in this. These individuals work with our Galvanizers to keep the energy from flagging, ensuring that projects maintain their pace and direction. They are like the steady drumbeat that keeps the city’s heart pumping, even when the going gets tough.

“Some people see things that are and ask, ‘Why?’ Some people dream of things that never were and ask, ‘Why not?’ Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.” – George Carlin
