    89. Understanding vs. Judging: Averting the Fundamental Attribution Error

    How often do you assume someone’s behavior is a flaw in their character instead of a feature of their genius? In episode 89 of the Working Genius Podcast, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson unpack the “Fundamental Attribution Error” and how it damages relationships at work and at home. They explain how people often misjudge each other’s actions as flaws rather than features of their unique Working Genius. By walking through all six Geniuses, the hosts show how greater understanding can lead to less guilt, less judgment, and better collaboration. Topics explored in this episode:  (0:35) Understanding the Attribution Trap * The fundamental attribution error leads us to blame others’ character while excusing our own behavior. * Working Genius helps reframe annoying behaviors as strengths expressed out of context. (5:35) Wonder and Invention * Wonderers can be misjudged as unfocused, skeptical, or afraid to commit due to their questioning nature. * Inventors might be seen as flaky, ego-driven, undisciplined, or impatient due to their constant flow of new ideas. (12:38) Discernment and Galvanizing * Discerners are often misjudged as overly judgmental due to their evaluative nature. * Galvanizers can be perceived as overly enthusiastic, insincere, or bossy. (21:26) Enablement and Tenacity * People with enablement might be seen as unwilling to say no or even dishonest due to their eagerness to help and affirm. * People with tenacity can be unfairly seen as unsympathetic or afraid to fail because of their focus on finishing tasks.

    88. MBTI Is the Noun, Working Genius Is the Verb

    How can your understanding of Myers-Briggs add to your Working Genius?  In episode 88 of the Working Genius Podcast, Pat and Cody dive into the relationship between Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Six Types of Working Genius. They explore how MBTI describes who you are (the noun), while Working Genius describes what you do best (the verb). Through examples and insights, they show how combining both tools can improve self-awareness, team collaboration, and career decisions. Topics explored in this episode:  (00:40) Nouns vs. Verbs: The Core Difference * MBTI describes your personality preferences—the "noun" of who you are. * Working Genius identifies the activities you love—the "verb" of what you do. (04:30) A Crash Course in MBTI * The four MBTI dimensions: E/I, N/S, T/F, and J/P. * How these traits affect decision-making and communication. (7:31) No Overlap, But Total Alignment * Working Genius and MBTI have no direct correlation—and that’s a strength. * Personal anecdotes show how people with the same MBTI have different Working Geniuses. * The pairing of both tools unlocks richer insight into how someone works and thrives. (18:59) Real Examples * Stories from The Table Group that contrast MBTI and Working Genius. . (24:46) Advanced Nuance and Practical Use * The concept of a "secondary MBTI type."

    How can understanding and embracing your Working Genius help you redefine your concept of “work” and “retirement”? In episode 87 of the Working Genius Podcast, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson take on the increasingly common desire to quit work or retire early, questioning whether it's truly the job people want to escape—or the lack of fulfillment in how they work.

    What does “preemptive vulnerability” mean, why is it essential in leadership, and how can it build trust within a team?

(06:33) The Power of Going First * Why we appreciate leaders who admit flaws before they’re exposed. (13:12) The Psychology Behind Vulnerability in Leadership * Pat compares preemptive vulnerability to a “hack” that bypasses defensiveness. * Leaders who go first create a ripple effect across their teams.

    85. Don’t Fake It Till You Make It: Why Honesty Beats Pretending

    Why is it dangerous to "fake it till you make it" when it comes to your Working Genius? In episode 85 of the Working Genius Podcast, Pat and Cody explore the pitfalls of "faking it till you make it," particularly in the context of the six Working Geniuses. They discuss how pretending to possess certain geniuses—especially Galvanizing, Enabling, and Tenacity—can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction, even if it seems successful in the short term. They also emphasize the importance of aligning work with your natural geniuses for long-term fulfillment and success.  Topics explored in this episode:  (00:51) Faking It Undermines Team Trust * Faking a role outside your genius may temporarily fool others but drains energy and joy. (3:48) When Observation Misleads * People often mistake visible productivity for true capability and fulfillment. * Internal processes like Discerning or Inventing can't be copied just by watching someone do the work. (7:36) Success in the Wrong Game * Achieving mastery in an area outside your genius often leads to burnout, not true fulfillment. * Mimicking Tenacity or Enablement might bring professional praise but leaves people feeling empty. (11:24) Misalignment at Work * Many early career roles overvalue G.E.T. work, unintentionally alienating people with W.I.D. geniuses. * Discovering the Working Genius framework helps reframe these challenges as fixable, not personal flaws. (15:12) The Cost of Faking It * People often carry unnecessary guilt when they struggle in roles that don't match their genius. * Leaders can free people from burnout by helping them realign with their natural gifts.
