Flawed: Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management

Is a perfectionist good or bad for your team?

You may think perfectionism drives excellence—but what if it’s actually holding your team back?

In Flawed: Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management, psychologist and leadership expert Dr. Gregory Chasson reveals the hidden ways perfectionist thinking damages team performance, drains morale, and creates toxic workplace dynamics.

This practical guide is essential for leaders, managers, HR professionals, and executive coaches who want to:

• Identify the five key ways perfectionism disrupts team performance • Understand how perfectionist managers unintentionally sabotage creativity and trust • Replace “flawless” expectations with high standards that support innovation and well-being • Apply science-backed strategies to build more cohesive, productive teams

Grounded in decades of research and clinical insight, Chasson’s approach combines psychological science with real-world business application. You’ll learn how to spot perfectionistic behavior early—and what to do when it shows up in yourself or your leadership team.

Whether you’re a recovering perfectionist or managing one, this book delivers:

• Clear frameworks and language to talk about perfectionism in the workplace • Actionable tools to shift from fear-based leadership to growth-oriented culture • A refreshing perspective on how “flawed” thinking can actually build stronger organizations

Dr. Chasson is Associate Professor at the University of Chicago’s OCD Clinic. His expertise gives this book the depth of academic credibility with the clarity of a management manual.

Stop letting perfectionism masquerade as excellence.

Flawed will help you discover how to lead with courage, clarity, and a healthier path to success.
