I am aged32, I have a personality classified upon professional personality test to be "B high A", which means that I am a "perfectionist", a criteria which had and still gives me hard time with my colleagues, and my superiors, I go to work just to work, don't believe in personal times or attachments during working hours, and I always ask others to do the same, it finally made me unaccepted among my colleagues, and to be considered as an "authority risk" concerning my manger. The result of the mentioned personality test did advice me to take "therapy" in order to reduce the intense of my personality and to cope with others, so from a professional point of view, should I take therapy, or should I leave work, and if the other part is the right answer, will I ever find a working environment which will accept my character and behaviors, or I will be treated the same wherever I go,,
Indeed and such candidates progress rapidly but being perfectionist requires experienced and quick result oriented individual and this not commonly available. We need to strive for the best within available resource and practicing such norm will lead us as perfectionist but do remember, don't accept everyone, every time as perfect as yours.
Great question!. Perfectionists or in other words people who take great satisfaction in doing their work thoroughly are a sought after commodity and invalueable in the workplace. What isn't are people who expect everyone else to be the same.
Everyone of us is different and have different standards, expectations, wants and needs. If you cannot accept this then you need to take the 'therepy'
I think you could change very quickly and be accepted by others by doing the little things, being pleasent saying hello and goodbye, asking others there advice on things, smiling and being respectful to everyone. Good luck
you just need to learn how to interact with your colleages, be more friendly with them and lose the attitude, but also make sure that your work is produced by the same quality
and finally dont ask any one to do as you do, be youreslf and also let every one be himself
well i dont think being a perfectionist or workaholic is something really bad but i think you should try to mix up with people as well....i dnt ask you to go against your nature (perfectionism at work) but do try to have some mini -conversation with your colleagues while making tea, while going out for lunch or while passing in front of some colleague.it would give them an impression that you are perfectionist as well as jolly and friendly ..hope it would work
In Fact this is not my preferred style, I'm persistent, and that my comfort zone.
in teams we often look for team members of all demographics,psycographics,and disciplines.
we look for diversity and sure among them are perfectionist.
diversity is key.
hope i answered your question.
