Do you feel as if you are pulling the wool over the eyes of your
workmates, hiding your incompetence? You are not alone. There is even a
name for it:
Imposter Syndrome.
Management consultant
Gill Corkindale takes up the subject of business professionals with a
sense of inadequacy in a blog post on Harvard Business.
I have
come across many instances of Imposter Syndrome among my coaching
clients in recent years. Typically, they are managers on fast-track
careers in their late 30s or early 40s who have been promoted to a new
role in which their experience is being tested to the limits. Despite
support from their bosses and feedback showing they have great
operational, strategic and people skills, they often seem beset with
doubts.
