Dr Hayley Lewis joined me to talk about perfectionism in leadership—when it’s helpful, when it holds us back, and what we can do about it.
We get into:
- What perfectionism actually is (and isn’t)
- The toll it can take on leaders and teams
- How to spot it in yourself or others
- Ways to loosen its grip (without lowering your standards)
Reflective practice, micromanagement, inbox zero, and why reframing matters—it’s all in here.
