He begins by discussing the power of perfectionism and how it can drive individuals to achieve great results, especially in their early careers. Perfectionism is often positively reinforced during this phase, as it leads to promotions, recognition, and rewards. However, Jimmy highlights the potential downsides of carrying perfectionism into leadership roles.
