Excerpt 1 Headmistress tells pupils not to fret about exams Pupils should not worry about their exam results because no one will remember them in years to come, the head of a leading girls’ School has said. Judith Carlisle, headmistress of Oxford High School, said there was no point fretting over GCSEs because no one will "give a damn" about results — and because they don’t reflect character. She is running a "Death of Little Miss Perfect" initiative at the private school to combat perfectionism in her students. "Perfectionism is only captured in a moment — it’s not achievable longer term," she said. "It undermines self-esteem and then performance." Miss Carlisle said that students don’t always need to aim for 100 per cent, and if they do need an A grade to attend their university of choice, it’s not necessary to get the highest A possible. She said: "It matters, but sometimes it probably won’t matter. It’s important [the girls are] not going for things that if they don’t get it, it will destroy them. Exams aren’t who they are — it’s what they did on that day." She said: "There’s unhelpful perfectionism as opposed to high standards. It’s not that we’re aiming to undermine high standards— it will actually help you achieve higher standards." Excerpt 2 THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION The pursuit of perfection is a strategy for motivating organizations to innovate and reach levels of improvement and performance not previously seen as possible. Leveraging the pursuit of perfection as a strategy was developed and refined by quality leaders such as Bob Galvin and Paul O’Neill, and it has led to success in industries including health care, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Prior to serving as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Paul O’Neill was one of the most successful industrial leaders of the 20th century. As CEO of Alcoa from 1987 to 1999, he proposed and demanded a radical goal: zero work-loss incidents. No one would be hurt working at Alcoa. Alcoa moved toward perfection, becoming the safest industrial company in the world as well as the most successful aluminum producer in the world. Paul O’Neill has developed a revolutionary kind of leadership—one that centers around the pursuit of perfection.
