I had a lengthy talk with my therapist about perfectionism and her recommendation was to concentrate only on myself. This is a task easier said than done. One of you mentioned common sense and this is what I struggle with - that it seems this doesn't even occur to a great many of people. Add self-centeredness and this pretty much sums it up. We have people who fail to see how their choices and inaction affects the workplace and fellow workers. Ten percent of people do 90% of the work; ring a bell?
But I came away with one suggestion from the therapist she says might be of help. I am a doer she said and recommended a book to read called, "When Perfect Isn't Good Enough". I found myself a copy and have yet to start it yet a quick leaf through it and I think it might be helpful.
