No More Imposter
summary
Claims that impostor syndrome affects about 70% of people and that the term dates to a 1987 study about women in academia, while insisting it is not a mental illness but a recurring psychological pattern. Describes triggers (toxic managers, lack of representation, new roles), measurable impacts (lower productivity, turnover, less innovation), and practical tools that are tested here: journaling achievements, seeking mentorship, setting realistic goals, leadership training and organizational fixes to reduce attribution to luck and restore confidence.
