Why Leaders Who Obsess Over Perfection Burn Out

About this episode

Today’s episode unpacks two powerful concepts: dopamine and leadership. Why do we lose motivation when we only chase big goals? And how can leaders actually get more out of the people they already have, instead of chasing new hires?

You’ll hear why quantity enables quality, how perfection kills progress, and how small wins fuel both creativity and leadership.

If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, delegation, or motivation then this conversation is for you.
