Perfectionism backfired?

Interesting. I just read a thought-provoking article on how perfectionism can stop one from extreme business success.

"Perfectionism causes
1. Procrastination - (you delay working on a project -- because you are afraid of doing a bad, imperfect job)
2. Fear of career advancement (you keep your career in a safe static place -- because you’re afraid of new challenges which you might not perfectly meet)
3. Lack of open communication/stronger relationships (you avoid criticism at all costs – even if it can benefit you in the long term – because you fear being told you’re not perfect)."


Ha! *ding ding wake up call*
NOW I remember those projects I've put (indefinitely) on hold........ kapish.
