Did You Know…?

“To get ahead in this world, don’t we need a little bit of perfectionism?”

-Thomas Curran

Do you agree with the previous question? Whether in the workplace or beyond, research has shown that perfectionism is not correlated with performance. A perfectionist may work really hard to achieve a certain standard or expectation, but that does not equate to being more successful than the next person. Learn more about the problem with perfectionism as presented by the Character LAB here.
