Are You a Perfectionist?

No one is perfect. How often have you heard that truism, yet still hold yourself accountable to be perfect at all times? Once you understand that being a perfectionist can be harmful to your personal outlook, health and anxiety level, you can unravel what to do about it. As a leader, you need to do your best every day, but what is best today actually may change tomorrow. Make it a goal to maintain an equilibrium for yourself and your team — and to stay on track. Setting yourself up for failure is the wrong path to take, especially at the start of a new year.

A great leader knows how to manage perfectionist tendencies.
