Flawed: Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management is a work of non-fiction in the business, leadership, and self-improvement subgenres. It is suitable for the general adult reading audience. Penned by author Greg Chasson, this challenging and original work delves into the complexities of perfectionism and its impact on effective management. As a renowned psychologist and expert in cognitive-behavioral therapy, Chasson provides insight into the detrimental effects of perfectionism on organizational productivity. Tailored for managers and business leaders, the book offers a practical roadmap for understanding, detecting, and solving five common ways perfectionism disrupts the workplace. What sets the work apart is its practical approach to solving the perfectionism puzzle and fostering a growth-oriented work environment. Chasson draws on extensive research and practical experience to offer actionable solutions for leaders committed to effective team building and mitigating the adverse effects of perfectionism on both individuals and organizations.

Author Greg Chasson has crafted a skilled and inspiring book where his expertise is evident on every page, providing a solid foundation for understanding the detrimental impact of perfectionism on organizational productivity. What I found particularly valuable was the practical nature of the book, which offers actionable strategies and tactics for managers and business leaders to address perfectionism within their teams. Chasson's authoritative voice instilled confidence in the efficacy of the solutions proposed, yet there’s a gentility and a smoothness to the tone that makes it feel as though you’re getting advice from a wise mentor-friend rather than a hierarchical superior. The result is a work that sheds light on the complexities of perfectionism in the workplace in a positive, motivating way that makes you want to put the book down and take action. Overall, Flawed serves as a transformative guide for leaders seeking to build cohesive teams and drive success in the face of perfectionism-related challenges, and I would not hesitate to recommend it.
