Impostor Syndrome
If You Lead, Manage or Mentor Others, Impostor Syndrome is Essential to Understand.
Impostor Syndrome is both an organizational and personal issue.
It impacts organizational, team, and leadership performance and the bottom line.
For individuals it causes suffering and undermines one’s success.
Millions of people - CEOs and entry-level professionals, first year college students, and PhDs, attorneys, and engineers - secretly worry they're not as smart or talented as other people "think" they are and live in fear of being found out as a fraud. They feel the constant need to appear capable, competent and successful but underneath are insecure, anxious and full of self-doubt and criticism. To manage the anxiety of feeling like an imposter, people strive for perfection, set unhealthy standards, overwork, don’t practice self-care, isolate and burn themselves out. It is personally and professionally harmful and costly to organizations. If you experience impostor feelings you’re not alone. Not only do 70% of successful people report experience impostor feelings,
75% of executive woman say they’ve experience Impostor Syndrome
80% of CEOs feel out of their depth in their role
84% of entrepreneurs and small business owners report experiencing Impostor Syndrome

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
― Marianne Williamson
