- Imposter Syndrome in Leadership: How to Know You're Doing a Good Job
How do you actually know if you're doing a good job? And why does that question seem to get harder to answer the more senior you become?
In this first episode of The Lonely Leaders Club, Lucy and Kel dive straight in, talking about imposter syndrome in leadership. The quiet self-doubt that so many capable leaders carry, even the ones who look like they have it all figured out.
It feels like the more senior you get, the less feedback and praise you receive so you're left constantly wondering if you’re doing a good job or not. This episode is about how to measure your own success and find ways to combat self-doubt.
In this episode, we cover:
- How to know if you're a good leader and why self-doubt at work tends to grow the more senior you become
- Imposter syndrome in leadership
- Defining success at work: how to get clear on what "a good job" actually means across work and life
- Why feelings aren't facts, and how that reframe helps when you feel like you're failing
- How to ask for feedback at work with better questions
- Giving and receiving feedback as a leader, including dealing with negative feedback
- Leadership mindset shifts
- Tools for building self-confidence at work when negativity sticks harder than praise
- Using a weekly review for productivity and self-reflection to build healthier thinking habits
- Why measuring your own success matters for work-life balance and career self-worth
