The perfectionism trap

The perfectionism trap occurs when the desire to achieve flawless results creates behaviors that actually make success more difficult. Individuals may overthink decisions, delay important tasks, avoid risks, or repeatedly revise completed work. This cycle can reduce productivity while increasing stress and self-criticism. For leaders, perfectionism can also make delegation difficult and prevent team members from taking ownership. Breaking this pattern requires shifting attention from perfect outcomes to meaningful progress. Setting realistic expectations, accepting mistakes, prioritizing important tasks, and learning from feedback can create healthier habits. A growth-focused approach helps leaders become more adaptable, confident, productive, and supportive of their teams.
