A short motivational clip by Will Humphreys advising aspiring CEOs to prioritize progress over perfection. Humphreys argues that effective CEOs act quickly on the right activities, accept failure as part of learning, and improve quality through iterative efforts—encouraging listeners to "let go of perfection" and adopt a CEO mindset (done is better than perfect).

Chapters

Another big mental shift for people in becoming CEOs is this idea of perfection. They let go of perfection as CEOs, they start realizing progress is way better than perfection. One way to say it is done is better than perfect. Of course we want high quality, but the truth is is that most people don't even start. Good CEOs act fast when they know it's the right activity and are willing to fail. Because through failure they learn. And through learning they make that quality even better. So start thinking like a CEO and let go of perfection.
