> The team was pretty disappointed I was stepping down, which I guess means I did a good job If you’re a boss and everyone likes you, then you’re probably doing too much yourself, not doing the right things, or being too easy on everyone. It’s a one-way path to a miserable life. Committing to the belief that a) Everyone won’t like me and b) Everyone shouldn’t like me made me much happier as a boss. > I just couldn't deal with trying to balance my own perfectionism with other people doing the work. Whenever I interview someone who’s a self-described perfectionist, I love asking them “Tell me about the last thing you did perfectly…” It often leads to, “So you’re a perfectionist and you’re having a hard time finding something you did perfectly…” I’ve had a few people have a visible A-Ha moment during the discussion. Those are the ones that I like to hire.
