Do all leaders feel like impostors or is it just me?

All of them, at some point. Kris Kluver, in The Dysfunctional Family Office, has Ryan tell Gail Mitchell directly. He's never met a leader who didn't experience impostor syndrome at some point of vulnerability. The difference between great leaders and fair leaders isn't whether they feel it. It's how they handle it. Impostor syndrome shows up at almost every leadership transition. The new CEO. The first big client lost. The first board challenge. The first team disagreement. The feeling is real. The reality is usually that the leader is more capable than the feeling suggests. The fix isn't to wait for the feeling to disappear. It's to keep moving while feeling it. Most leaders also discover that the impostor syndrome shrinks once they have a Peer Circle to test it against. Hearing other CEOs describe the same thing breaks the isolation that makes the feeling worse.
