Leap Academy with Ilana Golan · Discover Your Working Genius and Beat Career Burnout | Patrick Lencioni | E147 · 24 Feb 2026 podcast

And I spent five years there and I became the vice president of organizational communication and basically doing this.

And then it's a kind of an interesting story.

I interviewed with Steve Jobs at Pixar.

A headhunter called me and said, Pixar is looking for a head of HR.

And this was when he was running Pixar.

And I said, yeah, I'll interview.

Cause you know, I'd been there for five years and back then five years at one company meant there was something wrong.

So I interviewed with him and great story.

He came to get me in the interview room and he said, Hey, are you Pat?

And I said, yeah.

And he goes, Hey, as it turns out, I only have five minutes.

So come into my office.

We'll talk for five minutes and then we'll figure out your next step.

But I got another meeting.

I'm sorry.

So I went in and I met with him and we spent an hour.

I found out later that he did that with everybody he interviewed because after five minutes, if he thought they were boring, he didn't want to have to talk to them.

Then I did another interview and another interview.

They offered me the job and I decided, I don't think I want to be the head of HR because HR was so policy oriented.

And they didn't want that, but I knew I'd be doing benefits and comp and all that kind of stuff.
