Perfectionism might look like a strength on the surface, but it often hides burnout, procrastination, imposter syndrome, and toxic expectations that stall both leaders and teams.

In this episode of No More Mondays, I sit down with Dr. Greg Chasson, psychologist, professor, and award-winning author of Flawed: Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management, to explore the real impact of perfectionism on work and life.

What you’ll learn:

The 3 types of perfectionism (self-oriented, socially prescribed, and other-oriented)
How perfectionism shows up at work and why it can sabotage leadership
Why procrastination is a hidden red flag for perfectionists
The surprising positives (loyalty, honesty, attention to detail, drive) that leaders can harness
Practical strategies to reduce perfectionism’s downsides without losing its benefits

👉 If perfectionism has you, or your team, stuck, this conversation will help you shift your mindset and create healthier, more productive environments.
