Interview with Sam Sliney - Perfectionism

Leading With Heart

This week we are continuing the conversation about perfectionism. I am joined by Major Sam Sliney, 724th Special Tactics Group Staff Judge Advocate, a mother of three, and wife to an Army Green Beret. Sam discusses her experiences as a perfectionist and the importance of self-reflection, seeking feedback, and discerning when perfectionism is necessary.
We dive deep into the value of admitting mistakes and taking ownership, as well as how to decide what tasks and activities don’t require perfection. Parenthood has helped Sam prioritize family over perfectionism. The episode highlights the importance of communicating expectations, learning from different personalities, and creating a positive work environment.
