“I only got the job because I got lucky.”
“Will they find out I don’t know what I am doing?”
Do any of these sound familiar? You may be dealing with imposterism. And you are in good company.
If you aren’t sure, take this Imposterism self-assessment created by Pauline Rose Clance.
Imposterism. Imposter Syndrome. Imposter Phenomenon. Imposter Experience.
These terms describe how high-achieving people fail to recognize their success and/or accomplishments and have persistent self-doubt and fear of being exposed as a fraud. They struggle with attributing their performance to their competence and often attribute success to luck or other outside factors.
No matter what you call it, imposterism is real and present in the business world. It is not a disease or an abnormality, but can have a harmful impact on job performance and satisfaction, and eventually cause burnout.
