From Perfectionism to Optimalism in the Workplace
In this episode, we will talk about the concept of Perfectionism in the Workplace.
There is a continued prevalence of perfectionism in the workplace, which is striking, given the magnitude of the negative effects perfectionism has on how we work and create things together.
This goes back to our widely held (incorrect) assumption: that perfectionism is beneficial to job performance.
Today's episode will, based on current research, poke holes in this assumption - and look at ways to mitigate the negative effects of perfectionism.
If you are a curious bit š¤ š§ , come along this week's quest to understand and untangle perfectionism at the workplace, details how it is expressed, what to do about it including concrete actual interventions how to prevent feeding perfectionism and develop and foster optimalism.
Enjoy!
