Impostor syndrome shows up in subtle ways – overworking, second-guessing decisions, avoiding visibility, or hesitating to speak up. Strong leaders recognize that this isn’t a personal issue to be “fixed” – it’s a leadership issue. The way you give feedback, run meetings, and respond to mistakes can either reinforce self-doubt or build confidence and accountability. It’s no secret that teams perform best when people feel a sense of belonging, clarity in expectations, and psychological safety to contribute fully.
This is one of the core topics explored in the Healthcare Executive Leadership Program, a 10-week virtual cohort designed for healthcare leaders preparing for broader roles or looking to strengthen their impact in senior positions. In this module, you’ll take a closer look at how impostor syndrome shows up – for yourself and for your team – and how leadership behaviors can unintentionally trigger or reduce it.
You’ll learn how to identify patterns that hold teams back, from burnout and overwork to disengagement and self-silencing. Just as important, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to shift those patterns – creating an environment where people feel confident contributing, taking ownership, and performing at a higher level.
