The Perfection of Imperfection
In this new reality of quickly changing technology, many individuals who are used to perfection are having a tough go of it. My advice to them is to embrace the perfection of imperfection as a coping strategy. For example, when launching a new technology product, many times it is he who is first wins. If you focus on getting the product perfect, the opportunity will simply pass you by. Striving for that last little thing to make it perfect creates undue effort and stress. In fact the last little bit typically only provides a small return. The key is having a good balance.
