In this episode, we dive into perfectionismâhow it impacts job seekers, employees, and leadersâand explore strategies to overcome its pitfalls without losing its advantages. Our guest is Dr. Gregory Chasson, a board-certified cognitive behavioral therapist, researcher, educator, and author of the new book, Flawed. Dr. Chasson breaks down why perfectionism can be both an asset and a hindrance, explaining how rigid thinking and excessive expectations can lead to anxiety, procrastination, and workplace friction.
He introduces the âEmphasis Frameworkâ (A, B, and C), a practical tool for deciding how much energy to give each task, guided by your core valuesârather than an all-or-nothing approach that can derail productivity. Youâll also learn how to be genuine about imperfections in a job interview, how to avoid paralysis by analysis, and why resilience and cognitive flexibility matter more than flawless performance.
Whether youâre searching for a job, leading a team, or simply aiming to strike a healthier balance between ambition and well-being, this conversation offers real-world insights you can apply today.
