My leadership style assessment results were 8 (high) – concern for people and 4 (low) – concern for task.

When evaluating a project, instead of making it perfect, I need to step back and say to myself what does good enough look like. I need to look more near term 1 year or less than 5 or 10 years out and devise my plan around the shorter term, making continuous incremental
