Dr. Dayan Douse, Founder and President of P.R.I.D.E Consulting, and Technology Executive Phillip Smith deliver real-world strategies, unfiltered advice, and the tools you'll need to take your leadership to the next level.
Leaders face it every day:
Do I wait until it’s perfect… or move forward with what I have?
In this episode, we dive into one of the most common and paralyzing leadership tensions: Perfection vs. Progress. And let’s be clear—it’s not just about productivity. It’s about mindset, momentum, and the courage to take action even when things aren’t flawless.
We break down:
✅ Why the pursuit of perfection can slow down innovation
✅ How progress-minded leaders build trust, adaptability, and results
✅ The signs you’re stuck in perfection mode—and how to shift out of it
✅ How to set high standards without becoming the bottleneck
If you’ve ever delayed a decision, over-polished a project, or felt stuck in “not ready yet” mode—this episode is for you.
