Perfection sounds like a strength—until it starts holding you, your team, and your culture back.
In this episode, we take an unfiltered look at the hidden price leaders pay when perfection becomes the goal instead of progress. Because behind every “perfect” standard is often fear—fear of failure, judgment, or losing control.
We unpack: ✅ How perfectionism kills innovation and trust within teams ✅ The ways perfection-driven leaders unknowingly create anxiety and stagnation ✅ Why “excellent” leadership and “perfect” leadership are not the same thing ✅ How to shift from perfection to progress—and still maintain high standards
If you’ve ever struggled to let go, micromanaged out of fear, or felt like “good enough” wasn’t good enough—this episode is for you.
