Perfection can be said as an illusion. It is
never fully achievable. People strive to become perfect at things that they
love. They try so hard and the process continues. It is like infinity, there is
no identified boundary. We tend to go forward hoping to achieve perfection. But
the journey pays some meaningful dividends. The reason we build teams is to execute
our plans perfectly. It is to an extent, could be done by defining a boundary or
target. But without the boundary, it may sometimes turn into frustration.
Frustration
comes in the way of rescheduling. Often people without a clearly defined goal stumble
to arrive at a destination. Even at the time of shipping, they try to make the
product perfect. They thrash multiple times and let every time the schedule go
away. This is an ultimate sign of poor leadership. By doing this, there are no
actual benefits. It often results in dry motivation. Employees loose enthusiasm
and the momentum reverse. Sometimes products or services going through thrashing
never comes out. They just stay on the shelf forever.
A good leader can minimize this perfection
illusion and keep the thrashing at bay. In
the long term, it brings a lot of profit.
Winston Churchill was right when he said “perfection
can also be spelled as paralysis”.
