Julie explores the difference between perfection and excellence and what ‘good enough’ means in this informative episode.

In any organisation, it’s vital that everyone understands what the minimum expected standard is, as it is this standard that is good enough to achieve the required results for the organisation.

If you are a perfectionist you need to achieve balance, otherwise you may be exhausting yourself with a level that is beyond what is required.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The most important aspect of achieving a healthy life balance is being able to successfully understand and manage your own level of perfectionism.
• There is the concept of ‘good enough’ but what is good enough?
• How do different peoples ‘good enoughs’ work together?
• Perfection beyond utility is by definition, a waste.
• If something needs doing to a certain standard then anything is beyond not required.
• If everyone knows what the minimum expected standard is then the minimum level of acceptance will achieve the required results for the organisation.
• Your Perfectionism is something you impose upon yourself.
• If you don’t manage your perfectionism you will crumble from the stress of seeking to reach it.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘I have excellence and perfection and my challenge has always been separating them’

‘When your good enough is perfectionism it’s difficult to embrace anything less’

‘If you are working with others your traits may not help if you don’t manage them successfully’

ABOUT THE HOST

Julie Hogbin

I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.

 

In 2011 I threw everything up in the air and became a property investor via forex, trading and learning how to build websites & internet market whilst walking on fire 😊

 

I have worked with over 20,000 Leaders at every level of Management and Leadership for over 30+ years. In the latter years working with CEOs, SMTs, boards of trustees & Entrepreneurs.

 

I have worked with the public, the private and the entrepreneurial sectors of the market. The Leadership messages are the same across the sectors – the application may be different but all are Business’ where Conscious and Principled Leadership reaps rewards for all parties concerned.

 

I work with the human element of Business and my passion is enabling others to be the best they can be through providing them with the information they need to be more effective than they currently are. Unleashing potential and providing knowledge enabling the best decisions to be made for the Business, the Employee, the Leader (themselves) their families and the greater social economy.

 

I am a Coach, a Mentor (and I know the difference) Trainer, Author, property investor and public speaker

 

I love to travel, sunshine, smiley people, intelligent conversation, laughter, learning, networking, supporting others, property as a business, investigating ‘stuff’ problem solving, asking questions that make people think, creating aha moments, gardening and flowers and being outside.
