Feeling like a fake at work can lead to problems at home
A little self-doubt at work can be a good thing, but like anything else—too much can be a bad thing.
When employees, usually high performers, start to doubt their abilities too much it can turn into imposter phenomenon, causing fatigue, dissatisfaction, and the inability to maintain a healthy work–life balance. Employees experiencing imposter phenomenon have trouble recognizing and believing their own success and tend to overcompensate, which takes an emotional toll.
