CLARITY KICKSTART: Week of April 22, 2013
“Done Is Better Than Perfect.”
~ Poster at Facebook headquarters
Coaching Tip For The Week:
How does perfectionism impact your goals?
As professionals and leaders, we strive for excellence – sometimes to our own detriment.
By desiring perfect results, we can become masters of procrastination (“I don’t want to start until I can do it well”) or find ourselves swamped in half-finished projects.
Both are exhausting ways to work and live!
This week, choose one area – either at work or home – where perfection isn’t necessary. Where you can practice imperfection.
Adopt the mantra “Done Is Better Than Perfect” in this area, and let yourself live with the results.
By being a “selective perfectionist,” you’ll focus on what matters most, be kinder to yourself, and start to find delegation – an important leadership skill – much easier as well!
