Are you leaving something on the table?

In one of my earlier posts, I spoke about organizational pain.

Companies and leaders that can create organizational pain leave nothing on the table.

I wrote this story to give you food for thought and to help you decide whether you’re leaving anything on the table in your life.

It’s a story with multiple realities and a bit of self-reflection.

Whatever big decision you may be considering in your life, are you sure you’ve explored your options from every angle?

Have you forced yourself to lean in a bit of ambiguity, discomfort, or even fear to explore your options?

This story requires you, as my reader, to see the ambiguity of my statements.

You will get it if you’re looking for confirmation of your beliefs.

If you focus on what you disagree with and want to judge me for, you will also get that.

Here are a few of my thoughts and beliefs:

#1 About perfectionism

I’m not a perfectionist by any means, but I’ve come to appreciate the need to strive for perfection in certain areas because of people in my personal life and my career in retail.
