The Importance of Vulnerability and the Challenges of Leaders in Being Vulnerable

In order to “overcome” imposter syndrome, most self help books teach us that we should just believe that we can be anything that we think we should be. While a positive mindset and confidence can be beneficial, with this way of thinking, our egos are still in control as they drive us on never ending quests for more validation and achievement. In this episode, the Upbuild team takes a deep dive into the complexities and drivers of imposter syndrome, differentiating the ego from the true self. They discuss a real life example of imposter syndrome, how imposter syndrome can be unhealthy when it gets refracted through the ego, and how imposter syndrome can be healthy when it gives us access to humility and to our real selves.
