People who have worked their way up in life, tend to have a more perfectionist nature. This also arises out of any natural anxiety. Perfectionism need not always be a virtue. Instead, it could lead to some sort of self- sabotage. Research has confirmed that women generally have more such perfectionism tendencies than do men. There is a lot of overlap between simply having high standards, versus the stance of perfectionism. The first group prioritizes as per the need, while the latter has this tendency to keep self- ruminating. Those who have high standards, are the kind of people ideal for setting up organizations’ corporate strategy, as they can see the bigger picture. The other lot mentioned however, tries to please every single stakeholder, something that is clearly not possible in any competitive environment.
