					<description><![CDATA[Perfect At Work I’ve coached and mentored many women, and we are often driven by perfectionism. We take on a project and nothing short of 100% will do.&#160;I’ve worked alongside male colleagues my whole career, and I’ve observed that most men don’t shoot for 100%. They figure that, say, 70% is not only good enough, [&#8230;]]]></description>
