Description
Do you feel irritated when your associate submits documents that aren’t written exactly as you thought they should be? Do you obsess over your own mistakes? Do you have trouble getting started on a task because you’re partially paralyzed by the fear of failure? Are you highly critical of those around you for failing to rise to certain standards? Do you find it difficult to achieve a sustainable work-life balance?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may suffer from perfectionism, a very common phenomenon among lawyers. In the pursuit of excellence, many lawyers fall prey to perfectionist behaviors, which can impair relationships, create both emotional and physical health problems, reduce job satisfaction, and lead to burnout.
