Abstract
In this piece, embracing ‘imperfectionism’ is offered as an idea for members of the Management Learning community to consider. As academics are subjected to growing professional demands – and as institutional pressures push them towards becoming the ‘ideal academic’ – imperfectionism presents an alternative (and more constructive) path to a sustainable career.
