How To Work With Perfectionists (Even If You Are One)

Are you, or someone you work with, a perfectionist? If you have perfectionist tendencies, it can be frustrating to work alongside people who don't because you feel like they don't care enough about the work. And if you don't identify as a perfectionist but have to work with someone who is? Well, it can be equally challenging because things can be overworked, delayed, or shared way too late for fear of things not being 'good enough'. In this episode, Em and Lisa unpack how to work with perfectionists, how to manage your own perfectionist traits, and how to give feedback to people who might not be the best at receiving it.  Plus, Lisa shares another one of her go-to frameworks that can help you let go of 'perfect' and move forward faster.  Our BIZ hosts are Lisa Lie - a former Head of People & Culture and Organisational Coach - and Mamamia’s Em Vernem. **Book recommendation**: The Trusted Advisor by Charles Green **And if you want some fast skills from** Learna: Check out 'Build trust fast' in Learna.
