    247. Leadership Isn't Cool

    Why might being “cool” make someone a dangerous person to work for? And why are some of the greatest leaders uncool?  In episode 247 of At The Table, Pat and Cody challenge the cultural obsession with being “cool” and examine how it can corrupt leadership. Using a global study that defined six traits of coolness—especially “powerful” and “hedonistic”—they reveal how these values run counter to responsible leadership. Through stories, examples, and hard truths, they make the case that great leaders are often deeply uncool—and that's precisely what makes them trustworthy. Topics Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explore in this episode:  (3:39) The Six Traits of Cool * The hosts list the six cool traits: adventurous, autonomous, open, extroverted, powerful, and hedonistic. * Pat expresses deep concern about “powerful” and “hedonistic” being celebrated. (6:53) Cool Traits * Cody and Pat analyze “open,” “autonomous,” and “adventurous” as potentially valid for leaders. * They debate whether extroversion belongs in either coolness or leadership. (10:28) Why Hedonism and Power Don’t Belong * Why hedonism contradicts servant leadership. * The trap of confusing likability or popularity with effectiveness. (16:25) The Dangers of Hiring Cool Leaders * How boards and teams often choose “cool” over capable. * Flipping the script—celebrating uncool, authentic leaders.

    246. Party at the DMV: When Meta-Culture Shapes Workplace Culture

    How does the broader culture of your location influence your organization’s internal culture? In episode 246 of At The Table, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explore how meta-culture—the broader geographic or societal environment—shapes the internal culture of organizations. From experiences at the DMV to moving company headquarters, they share insights on how values interact with location.  Topics explored in this episode:  (2:44) Organizational Culture Exists Within a Larger Culture * The macro culture of a city or state can either support or resist company values. * Remote work and multiple locations complicate maintaining a cohesive culture. (6:15) Moving Your Company * Leaders should consider not just financials but cultural fit when moving. * The meta-culture can affect hiring, operations, and team morale. * Certain locations make it easier to find people who reflect your values. * Some environments create cultural friction, while others foster cohesion. (9:35) Navigating Meta-Culture * Leaders should actively ask how geography is influencing their organization.

    244. Embracing Tension is the Key to Innovation

    Are you missing out on innovation because you're avoiding discomfort? How can you embrace the tension that's required for innovation?  In episode 244 of At The Table, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explore the crucial link between tension and innovation. They argue that real creativity requires discomfort—whether from interpersonal friction or environmental urgency. Through personal stories and business examples, they offer practical ways to embrace conflict and drive change before crisis strikes. Topics explored in this episode:  (1:14) Tension Can Be Beneficial * Innovation is universally desired but rarely pursued. * True creativity demands both environmental and interpersonal tension. * Most teams avoid conflict until a crisis forces change. (3:52) Manufacturing Tension and Creativity * Cody discusses how companies often manufacture environmental tension to force innovation, especially when complacency sets in.  * Pat connects innovation to creativity, drawing on his experience as an author and screenwriter.  (9:17) Does Every Business Need to Innovate? * Innovation applies to all types of companies in different ways. * Entrepreneurs often thrive on tension, but most leaders need to learn it. (14:15) Manufacturing Urgency * Crises like COVID accelerate innovation by necessity. * Teams can simulate pressure by setting rallying cries or tight timelines. (19:24) Fear or Joy Can Drive Innovation  * A team’s willingness to engage in healthy conflict is directly tied to innovation potential. * The best employees crave meaningful tension and will leave if it’s missing. Resources mentioned in this episode:  * Only the Paranoid Survive: How to Exploit the Crisis Points That Challenge Every Company, a book by Andrew S.

    243. Overcoming the "I’m Not Enough" Trap

    Why do so many successful leaders struggle with the feeling of "not being enough"? And how can leaders shift away from a scarcity mindset? In episode 243 of At The Table, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explore the pervasive feeling of inadequacy among leaders. They discuss how a "not enough" mindset can drive individuals to seek validation through constant achievement. The conversation emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, self-awareness, and shifting from a fear-based to a joy-based approach to life and work. Topics explored in this episode:  (0:49) The Prevalence of "I'm Not Enough" * Many leaders share a common feeling of inadequacy, often tracing it back to their youth.  * This feeling can create a cycle of constantly striving to prove yourself, hindering your ability to find satisfaction in accomplishments.  (5:04) The Impact of Vulnerability * Sharing your feelings of inadequacy with others can normalize these experiences, encouraging them to acknowledge their own struggles and seek support.  (9:07) The Scarcity Mindset * Believing "I'm not enough" can lead to a scarcity mindset, affecting your perceptions of time, success, and resources.  (14:23) The Illusion of Control * The pursuit of control over outcomes can lead to anxiety and prevent you from embracing the present moment.  (18:36) Finding Peace in the Journey * Reframing your perspective can help you foster a sense of peace.  * Embracing the journey and finding joy in the process can lead to greater fulfillment than solely focusing on the result.
