What if your coworkers were straight out of a sitcom? In this episode of The Introvert Leader Podcast, I’m breaking down five workplace archetypes using characters from The Office. From the passionate-but-clueless Michael Scott to the perfectionist Angela and people-pleaser Andy, you’ll learn how to spot these styles, appreciate their strengths, and work around their blind spots. Whether you’re leading a team or just trying to survive your 9-to-5, this one’s packed with insights and laughs.

Timestamps

00:34 – Michael Scott (Mr. Nothing But Heart): Why leading with passion matters and how it can backfire when you don’t read the room.

03:04 – Angela Martin (Mrs. Perfection): High standards and hidden mistakes, and the double-edged sword of perfectionism at work.

05:52 – Andy Bernard (Mr. People Pleaser): People pleasing feels productive, but it often masks insecurity and undermines leadership.

9:33 – Jim Halpert (Mr. Wasted Potential): Coasting in your comfort zone? Learn how to stop playing it safe and start showing up.

15:41 – Kelly Kapoor (Mrs. Blind Confidence): The boldness is impressive, but how far can confidence take you without self-awareness?

17:49 – Challenge for Listeners: Which character are you, and what are two blind spots you might need to confront?
