Crossposting - The Imposter Syndrome

You’re a Fraud, and We All Know It: Work, Leadership, and Imposter Syndrome

Have you ever felt like you’re not as good at your job as you should be, or that you should know more than you do? Have you had the thought that you might not deserve your success, or that everyone is about to figure out you have no idea what you’re doing? You might be afflicted with imposter syndrome.

Even if you’re not, you’re spending time with people who are – it’s been estimated that as many as 70% of people experience imposter syndrome. It’s a pervasive phenomenon, and it’s impacting the way we work and lead – often negatively.
