Recently, while reading Adam Grant’s enlightening book, “Hidden Potential,” I stumbled upon the term “wabi-sabi” (侘び寂び), which encapsulates the beauty found in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness.
 
Reflecting on this, I have realised the importance of setting challenging rather than perfect goals. In an Agility mindset, adapting and evolving based on constant feedback is crucial. By not striving for perfection, we open ourselves to rapid learning and growth, taking more risks and embracing imperfections.
 
In a fast-paced world of constant change, individuals and organisations must keep this mindset at the forefront. Instead of aiming for flawless solutions, let us focus on crafting workable ones with unwavering quality. Pursuing perfection can be a trap, hindering our progress by fostering a false sense of completion and stagnation.
 
Embracing imperfection fuels our journey toward excellence. Let’s remember that perfection is not the destination but a continuous learning and growth process.
