Original Advice
“Perfection isn’t a leadership style: Calling it “standards” doesn’t excuse control. If your corrections create tension or silence others, you’re managing anxiety, not quality. Own it and adjust.”
Quit Calling Control Standards
You're not refining; you're suffocating. You call it “high standards” while you rearrange people’s sentences, calendars, and moods. Rooms tighten when you arrive because feedback turns into surveillance. Quality doesn’t need your fingerprints on every pixel. This isn’t leadership; it’s panic in a pressed shirt. Stop policing commas to outrun discomfort. Admit the fear: you only feel valuable when you’re correcting.
Control is a ritual to quiet chaos, not a pathway to excellence. Your brain hunts errors because errors feel like danger. But constant fixing breeds dependence, resentment, and quiet rooms. You slow timelines pretending to save them. Real standards scale: clarity, delegation, review, release. Let people deliver ugly first drafts. Let outcomes teach. Precision without trust is sterile; trust multiplies precision.
Cosmic Context
As a Mercury-ruled Virgo, you sense flaws before others see shape. Your gift is discernment; your evolution is restraint that lets the work breathe.
