Abstract

Giving employees confidence, reassurance, and support can be a challenging task for any manager, especially when employees may falsely perceive that they’re underqualified, lack necessary skills, or simply lucked out getting an assignment or promotion. Given the prevalence of imposter feelings, you're likely managing people who feel this way.
