Recognizing Hidden Potential Through Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome often leads individuals to go above and beyond because they fear being overestimated by others. Having high expectations from multiple people can indicate hidden potential, as they may recognize strengths and abilities that are invisible to oneself. People tend to underestimate their own capabilities due to biases and lack of experience, while others, being more neutral and objective, can often see one's latent abilities more clearly. It's essential to trust the belief of those who see potential in you, even when lacking confidence. High performers commonly experience imposter syndrome as they are constantly pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones with the support of managers who believe in their capabilities.
