The Evolution of Leadership Perspective
Leadership often begins with self-doubt, and recognizing this normalcy is crucial for personal growth. Embracing imposter syndrome as a guide rather than a hindrance allows individuals to approach challenges with a renewed perspective. By reframing thoughts from 'who am I to run for president' to 'who am I not to run,' one can transform self-imposed limitations into opportunities for service and contribution. Befriending self-doubt can lead to deeper reflection on what truly matters, fostering a mindset that prioritizes personal values over fear.
