The Paradox of Perfectionism – How It Can Undermine Your Agency’s Project Output 

Perfectionism, although cloaked in the guise of rigorous attention to detail, can ironically lead to the opposite of its intended outcome. The constant striving for perfection triggers stress, anxiety, and procrastination, stalling the momentum necessary for project completion. It is because perfectionists often get caught in the endless cycle of refining and revising, constantly second-guessing their decisions, which detrimentally affects the pace of work. Moreover, in a team setup, such an approach can cause friction, as the perfectionist's unforgiving standards can undermine group morale and cooperation, thus negatively impacting the overall project output. It's clear that perfectionism, while seemingly a path to high-quality results, is often a paradoxical pitfall, hindering productivity and stifling creativity.
