One Question Leadership Podcast

@1QLeadership Question: What happens when a perfectionist realizes that no one can be perfect?

Jessie Gardner, Executive Senior Associate AD at UNT, discusses her evolution from being a perfectionist to considering herself an achiever. She acknowledges that perfectionism held her back in her prior leadership roles. Gardner gives credit to enneagram, Strengthsfinders, and self-reflection for her leadership self discovery.

  • leadership is a constant evolution of who you are and how you show up in the world
  • leaders must learn themselves to understand how they can be the most effective

Gardner gives examples of her progress while acknowledging that people around played a big part in her development. She currently focuses on what the people she leads need from her, and how she can create spaces that people want to be in. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Tai M. Brown
