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:&nbsp;(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.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: <a href="https://www.tablegroup.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tablegroup.com</a>.
