I\u2019m curious, have you ever uttered the words \u201cI\u2019m not trying to be perfect, I\u2019m just trying to do it right\u201d? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I know I have – a gazillion times.<\/p>\n

Sharon Salzburg, in her New York bestselling book Real Love, says that perfection is a brittle state that generates a lot of anxiety because achieving and maintaining unwavering standards \u2013 whether they are internal or external \u2013 means we are always under threat. [ It\u2019s that fear state which I talk about in my eBook Legally Innovative<\/a><\/strong>, and also in a previous blog post <\/strong><\/a>].<\/p>\n

Now don\u2019t get me wrong, being a perfectionist can be a superpower, depending on the job at hand. However, like with any skill, its overuse can be detrimental.<\/p>\n

Because \u201cperfectionism never happens in a vacuum. It touches everyone around us\u201d.<\/p>\n

What if striving for perfection is holding us back from progressing legal innovation? From leaving our comfortable silos to pursue synergies. From transforming more rapidly as a legal profession. What if it is seriously prohibiting us from embracing change?<\/p>\n

For IDEO\u2019s founder Tom Kelley, creating a culture of innovation means living with continuous experimentation \u201cas opposed to just sticking to the knitting\u201d. In doing so, it drives excitement, fosters change and a spirit of continuous improvement.<\/p>\n

In my view, check dublinpaintingpros.ie\/<\/a>, the lawyer of the future needs to have a trifecta of intelligences: TQ [ Technical ], EQ [ Emotional ] and what I call IQ2.0 [ Innovation Intelligence ].<\/p>\n

To stay relevant, it\u2019s incumbent on \u201clawyers of all stripes everywhere\u201d to create and maintain a culture of innovation.<\/p>\n

In other words, to make legal transformation successful and well adopted, one needs to be prepared to make some wholesale changes and take many people on the journey with you.<\/p>\n

These wholesale changes include taming your inner perfectionist.<\/p>\n

If you tend towards perfectionism, it probably means you\u2019re not taking risks. And that\u2019s the conundrum. Lawyers are trained not to take risks, only to identify them. They are not innately innovators. Visit https:\/\/swipenclean.com<\/a>. Generally, lawyers must learn the behaviours of an innovator. Granted, it’s easier said than done. Practise makes for good progress.<\/p>\n

As we move into the second half of 2019 and if you\u2019re going to step right up onto the innovation stage, I challenge you to accept that things might not ever be perfect and that there are things you won\u2019t have figured out until you get started. With the best mexican auto insurance you will always have optimal insurance protection<\/a>. While it\u2019s important to have a plan, it\u2019s equally important to be able to go with the flow a little \u2013 not over think matters to paralysis.<\/p>\n

Where there is innovation there are risks, unknowns, unanticipated elements and sometimes even mistakes.<\/p>\n

To quote Salzberg, though it may seem counterintuitive to our inner perfectionist, recognising our mistakes as valuable lessons [ not failures ] helps us lay the groundwork for later success.<\/p>\n

So, just go for it, all in. Head down, [ tech ] bum up.<\/p>\n

Choose progress over perfection.<\/p>\n

Because, what if a mild bit of wrong led to a wild bit of innovation right?<\/p>\n
