Most executives are demanding
but there aren’t many
who are impossible to please.
Why?
Because if you are impossible to please,
people stop trying to please you.
If you are always unhappy with results,
then it doesn’t matter what results you are given.
Dr. Robert F. Hurley and James Ryman
found that the number one reason
managers don’t reach the executive level
is because of perfectionist tendencies.
These managers are challenging to work for
and find it impossible to delegate.
Of course,
you should strive for perfection
but don’t expect it from others
and ensure that you reward less.
Thanks for a great article. It’s me exactly!
This is the path I am trying to go down now (more delegating, trusting, empowering) and this gave me another push.
