I don’t know about you, but I have found myself seeking perfection throughout my life. When I began my job at NIFC over 20 years ago, a co-worker knocked me off my perfection pedestal by telling me I would never get a product on the shelf if I wanted perfection. His advice changed my world and allowed me to give myself a little grace and redemption when writing. I learned to embrace my failures which allowed me to be more vulnerable and put myself out there on the Wildland Fire Leadership blog and with courses and publications.
This blog contains a tasty morsel from Adam Grant,
organizational psychologist. Is our culture adding to our need for
perfectionism? Is it limiting you from sharing your gifts with others? Is it
burning us out?
