115 - Is perfectionism a problem or an advantage?

from The question is · host Thinking Focus

Rob and Paul continue this mini-series within The Question Is podcast about some of the different ways that people 'get in their own way'.  This time we consider perfectionism.  Could perfectionism be an advantage, or are we confusing high standards, with nothing ever being quite good enough? Like most traits that get in our way, these habits were once useful, which is why they have become a habit.  Then, out of the blue, the very thing that was helping becomes the thing getting in the way.  Paul and Rob explore the fine line between driving to excel and perfectionism and discuss strategies for perfectionists to stay on the right side of the line.
