Opportunities for improvements lie in mistakes

March 01, 20231 min read

“At its root, perfectionism isn't really about a deep love of being meticulous. It's about fear. Fear of making a mistake/ Fear of disappointing others. Fear of failure. Fear of success.” - Michael Law

Introduction:

Take action by embracing new ideas without feeling the pressure to master everything. Don't let perfectionism hinder progress; heed Voltaire's advice. Remember, mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow. Challenge yourself to explore the unknown, and allow yourself to make mistakes. Commit to learning and improving, and don't be afraid to try new things.

Fear of failure

With that said, here is why perfectionism inhibits growth! 👊

As a leader, it's important to recognize the sneaky influence of perfectionism on decision-making. Here are ways that it can hinder growth:

  • Discouraging creativity

  • Experimentation, and originality

  • Fostering procrastination

  • Reinforcing rigidity

  • Eliminating the excitement of discovery

  • It can also lead to unattainable goals

To promote innovation, it's crucial to have a willingness to make mistakes, even when it requires patience and a thick skin. It's common to feel frustrated with oneself or receive criticism from others when new things don't go as planned. To combat this, actively adopting a more flexible and open mindset, along with practicing empathy towards oneself and others, can create an environment where progress is always being made, even if perfection is unattainable.
