Everyone struggles at times with self-doubt, but that struggle can be especially difficult for people in leadership. Leaders are expected to always be self-assured, assertive and poised. But what happens when you begin to doubt your own abilities? What can you do when you’re worried you don’t have what it takes? As long as you address it instead of ignoring it, self-doubt is something you can understand and manage.

F EEDBACK HAS A LOT OF BAGGAGE associated with it. Feedback is not always well-intentioned and is used to punish, demean, or manipulate. When well-intentioned we don’t always do it right. We dump on people, we’re biased, we miss the overall issues, and present it in a way that doesn’t sound helpful. And we, of course, wanting to be right and accepted don’t see it as the gift that it is.

Frustrations can happen even in the best teams and under the best leadership. Perspectives clash, a situation becomes tense, and people get annoyed or even angry. As leaders, we never want to be a source of frustration for our team or our colleagues—but it can happen. If your team seems to be experiencing more than its share of frustration with you, it’s important as their leader, to do some self-reflection.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
