Perfect leadership is just not realistic; there are too many variables outside of your control. Leadership and the people you lead are unpredictable; most organizations are chaotic and moving too fast. None of these factors lend themselves well to perfect leadership. When you strive for perfection, you sabotage your own efforts.

Being wrong is a necessary part of your leadership journey; one that encourages you to take risks and humbles you when it happens.

So, find a mentor, hire a coach, take a 360, read some self-development or leadership books.
