Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
This module explores how to lead people who doubt themselves without placing the whole problem inside the individual. It covers signs of hidden impostor feelings, Yeager and colleagues' wise feedback, Edmondson's three moves for psychological safety, the difference between mentoring and sponsorship from Ibarra, Carter and Silva and from Hewlett, a supportive one-to-one, and Tulshyan's ways to design doubt out of the workplace. This capstone brings the topic's frameworks together through three stories of owning your place: Michelle Obama speaking at a London girls' school in 2018, Tom Hanks on Fresh Air in 2016, and Rhian, an illustrative head of service in a fictional Welsh council. It reads each through Clance's cycle, Young's types, calibrated confidence, belonging and sponsorship, ending with a self-assessment and a 90-day plan.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Recognise the patterns that may signal hidden impostor feelings in a team, without labelling or diagnosing anyone.
- Use wise feedback and sponsorship to turn your belief in a colleague into high standards and real opportunity.
- Plan changes to criteria, feedback, onboarding and meetings that reduce the conditions that keep producing doubt.
- Apply the topic's frameworks, including Clance's cycle, Young's types and calibrated confidence, to real and illustrative stories of impostor feelings.
- Compare personal, social and structural responses to doubt across the three cases, including what organisations can change.
