The journey from proud perfectionist to recovering perfectionist is crucial for career advancement and personal wellbeing. Perfectionism acts as a ceiling that limits growth, creativity, and influence when left unchecked.

• Perfectionism often stems from early career mistakes that damage confidence
• Common signs include excessive time spent on details, procrastination, and fear of making decisions without complete information
• Perfectionism and procrastination always come together, both driven by underlying fear
• Perfectionists hit a career ceiling because senior roles require faster decision-making with less information
• Micromanagement often accompanies perfectionism as leaders fear their team's mistakes will reflect poorly on them
• The mantra "done is better than perfect" is transformative when truly embraced
• Following the 80/20 rule helps focus on the 20% of work that creates 80% of impact
• Women of influence learn when to let their perfectionist tendencies go and maintain perspective
