What if letting go of perfectionism actually made you a better leader?

As a Type 1, Allison Larson knows the struggle of high standards, black-and-white thinking, and the challenge of trusting others to get things done. In this episode, we explore how self-awareness has transformed her leadership approach, helping her delegate more effectively, navigate gray areas in decision-making, and create a psychologically safe culture. We also dive into the Enneagram’s impact on workplace dynamics and how understanding her team’s types has shaped the way she leads.

We talk about:

How Type 1s can balance high standards with trust and flexibility
The challenge of decision-making in leadership when there’s no ‘right’ answer
The importance of psychological safety and autonomy in the workplace
