Don’t Let Perfect Be The Enemy of Good

Perfectionism is overrated. In fact, being a perfectionist at a workplace can have some negative effects such as:

Social Struggles
Perfectionists tend to have a harder time getting along with their colleagues. Research shows that colleagues prefer to work with non-perfectionists over perfectionists. 

Burnout and Stress
Being a perfectionist also may have negative effects on your well-being. Studies have shown that perfectionists are more likely to experience burnout and stress.

It might seem counterintuitive but if you tend to be hard on yourself, try to relax and give yourself some space to grow into a stronger, more effective worker!
