LEADERSHIP CULTURE LEARNING

​

Perfectionism is a real thing.

​

I have it.

​

You likely do too.

​

Perfectionism gets in my way. It likely gets in your way too.

​

I know that progress is MORE important than perfection.

​

But I don't live that approach often enough.

​

I take too long to start things. I take too long to finish things.

​

My default is to 'per-fect' everything I do.

​

High standards have a place, but NOT with EVERYTHING, EVERYONE AND ALL THE TIME.

​

Ever-present high standards can be stifling for you - and those around you.

​

Below is the link to a 11-minute podcast episode that explores my perfectionism.
​
I had long thought of high standards as a good thing, but, they often get in the way of me doing my best work.

​

Those high standards can also suck the life out of the happiness I get from enjoying the process of doing the meaningful work that I love.

​

If you recognise yourself in any part of my story of seeking perfection, there are suggestions in the podcast to help you reframe your perfectionism.

TEAM CULTURE TOOL

If you believe that your team culture is important, then one of the most important things I believe you can do is invest the time to discover and use the critical culture foundations:

​

• A short and easy-to-understand core purpose;
• 3-5 core values that everyone can remember; and
• A documented and often-mentioned vision of the future.

​

To discover how one of your service-based business owner peers went about discovering these foundations, I recomend you listen to this interview with Kimberlee Hughes of Kool Katts:
