Overcoming the Imposter Syndrome: How to Survive and Thrive in Your New Job
Positive Leadership with Dr. Dave MartinShow Notes
You just got that new promotion or the new job that you always dreamed of getting one day. But now that you're in the job, you have some real anxieties that perhaps you're in over your head and you're not ready to take on that new position.
These are quite normal feelings to have. It's a phenomenon called the imposter syndrome.
In this episode of positive leadership, I talk about the imposter syndrome; what it is, and how to quickly overcome it. It's a good listen for anyone who is struggling with feelings of inadequacy that often comes with taking on a new job or position with more responsibility.
Thanks to SMSgt Joseph Hunt of the 51st Civil Engineer Squadron at Osan AB for giving me the inspiration for this important episode. Enjoy!

In today's ultra-competitive corporate and organizational environment, leaders need to develop a laser-like focus on their customers, clients, and the markets they serve. Leaders must also be flexible, open to change (often at a moment's notice), and also be concerned with always improving their efforts to develop products and services. This is where agile leadership comes into play.
