TVLL 002: Imposter Syndrome

TVLL 002: Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome is the false notion that you are somehow not equipped to provide meaningful contributions in your line of work.  This is both an individual and a leadership concern.  From the individual perspective, are you limiting your potential based on a perceived lack of knowledge or confidence?  How can you overcome this?  From a leadership perspective, how many of your subordinates are self-limiting based on their perceived lack of knowledge or confidence?  What can you do to help them thrive in their position and grow in your organization?  In addition to the above, think how this might apply to job descriptions, applications, interviews, and promotions?   Line versus officer, enlisted versus commissioned, degreed versus experienced, manager versus specialist/technician, does your organizational culture perpetuate this self-limiting notion?

Often, we hear that leadership is somehow associated with a position or a rank.  In truth, anyone can be a leader, at any level, within a given organization or group.
