Perfectionism might seem like a great quality for a boss to have.
It's actually pretty toxic, says Ginni Rometty, former president and CEO of IBM.
I mean, you'd send anything to me [and I'd send it back] completely red," Rometty, 66, said.
"I used to think that was a great skill ... to find every mistake and improve it."
Your perfectionist boss may think they're showing you how to be detail-oriented.
