Feb 1, 2024, 11:13 AM

having the feeling you're just fooling everyone around you about how you are doing your job. Even without the "anxious feelings" that supposedly goes with it. Are you really qualified to do what you are doing or simply getting away with doing a so-so job? I think we all feel like we could have done a better job in certain cases but if it happens a lot, should we self-evaluate?

A 2019 review of 62 studies on imposter syndrome suggested anywhere from 9 to 82 percent of people report having thoughts along these lines at some point.

How about you?

I have worked with several people who should have had this feeling but apparently did not. They had no clue.

Yes.

I thought it was just an inferiority complex/Napoleonic complex/humility.

Or, is that just a new term for those?

Well seeing as I'm retiring in 20 days, I know I am an imposter. All I am doing is making sure my replacements know what is going on. I guess I'm a poor choice to answer your question.

I believe 90% of folks in administrative/management positions should have imposter syndrome. The big problem is less than 1% realize they do very little besides parasitize profits.
