Battles of an Impostor
summary
Impostor feelings affect an estimated 70% of people and split into five subtypes (Perfectionist, Natural Genius, Superhero, Expert, Soloist); the practical response is a three-step method: recognize the pattern, rationalize with thought‑stopping and "thought‑shipping" (the 70% rule to ship and learn), then reflect via journaling and feedback. Risks listed include depression, burnout and missed promotions; workplace remedies include mentoring, public praise systems, regular feedback loops and nurturing a growth mindset — several concrete examples and outcomes are offered.
