I think that's a really great way to put it, but also not something the majority of leaders (or people in general) are capable of. Nothing is ever perfect, everyone has a different opinion/view, at some point you need to wrap up a work product and move on. I found with a former manager the creation of project plans was absolutely hell because of this. Arguably project plans are not something directly deliverable to a stakeholder or with a firm deadline. Sort of like politics in academia, the lower the stakes the worst the battles. So he would spin through 20 iterations of expressing his discontents with the current plan. Typical feedback was what he didn't like / was wrong, rather than what he actually desired to see. Sort of like a very hands off editor who doesn't want to write the book for the author. Often times midway through he would be Don Quixote'ing items in the plan that were added because of his earlier feedback. |

I realize there is no way to say this without sounding like an absolute fucking dork, and this may be a syntaxial choice you're making, but the phrase is "tilting at windmills".
I regularly say "irregardlessly" because it's fun and I know better and if that's what you're doing here I love it and it's amazing, but if not you've got a new phrase in your kit.
