Imposter Syndrome as a Leader

Imposter syndrome is a term that is thrown around a great deal these days. It’s important to understand that it’s not ALL negative.

Understand that if you got a promotion, you earned it, they don’t just randomly promote people for no reason. You earned it. You deserve it. With that, it’s important to understand what Imposter Syndrome does for you in the new role…it creates humility. Humility to know that you haven’t built mastery yet in this role…how could you? You JUST got promoted!

The key is to keep it in the right frame…it’s simply an opportunity to improve and grow. You won’t always live there, but at every new level you will experience this again. So don’t avoid, embrace it and use it to help you drive humility.

Thanks for being here, I hope you are finding good information here! If you are looking for more, let me know!
