Issue 103 - 04 | How Self-Doubt Makes Leaders Better

By Steven Snyder
Published March 13, 2013 12:00 p.m.
“Self-doubt can be especially paralyzing for leaders who buy into the cultural myth of the perfect leader. Knowing full well that perfection is unattainable, they nonetheless feel compelled to project the image of a calm, confident leader who always knows what to do and how to do it. Societal taboos that paint indecision in leaders as a sign of weakness only intensify the sense of isolation and uncertainty that breed self-doubt.

Change is the crucible in which ordinary men and women develop into leaders. Indeed, whether change flows from a leader’s own vision and actions, or results from shifting circumstances within an organization or society at large, change almost always carries with it exciting opportunities for learning, growth and transformation.”
