The Hidden Costs of Self-Doubt – How Imposter Syndrome is an Organizational Crisis with 70% of people, especially high achievers, struggling with imposter syndrome. And it costs businesses about $3,400 on lost productivity per employee each year, according to Intuit Mint.
Imposter syndrome isn’t just an individual confidence issue—it’s a leadership and organizational crisis. Leaders who struggle with self-doubt second-guess decisions, hesitate to take action, and undermine their own authority. This results in a productivity drain, increased turnover, and a culture of overwork. When high-potential employees don’t feel “good enough,” they disengage, burn out, or leave, costing companies top talent and innovation.
The EMBRACE framework—Empathy, Mindset, Brand, Resilience, Authority, Capabilities, and Effectiveness—offers a blueprint for developing leaders who can inspire, engage, and drive results while supporting a transformative culture.
This session will expose the unseen costs of impostor syndrome in leadership and provide talent development professionals with strategies to maximize individual performance, build effective leaders who can inspire trust and engagement, and drive organizational performance.
