In this episode, we uncover how perfectionism can be a major obstacle to authentic leadership and growth. We explore the psychology behind perfectionism, how a fixed mindset stifles innovation, and introduce Positive Intelligence’s saboteurs like the Controller and Hyperachiever. Learn the beauty of wabi-sabi and discover practical strategies to shift from perfectionism to progress, including lessons from Thomas Edison’s failures and Seth Godin's MVP approach. The challenge: release a project you’ve been holding back because it's not perfect enough and take that first step toward growth.
Highlights from this episode:
- Perfection stifles creativity, risk-taking, and innovation
- Fixed mindset links perfectionism to viewing mistakes as failures
- Perfectionism creates a leadership environment that discourages failure and innovation
- Wabi-sabi celebrates beauty in imperfection and life's natural cycles
- The Controller and Hyperachiever saboteurs drive perfectionism, but can be overcome
- Edison’s 10,000 light bulb failures show how failure fuels innovation
- Four strategies to overcome perfectionism: progress, failure, experimentation, self-compassion
- Imperfect work (MVP model) is better than waiting for perfection
