The New York Times recently ran a great piece about managers and professionals who suffer from feelings of fraudulence or inadequacy at work. Imposter syndrome (also known as imposter phenomenon, imposterism and “neurotic imposture”) can be a good thing for managers, said the author. Occasionally feeling like a fraud ensures managers don’t get too egotistical: it helps them define their limits and ensures they seek guidance when they are out of their depth. It also shows their humility.
