Summary
When you step into a high-level role, the biggest enemy isn't the workload—it's Imposter Syndrome. You could be leading people who have been there for a long time and know more than you do. You may find yourself sitting in executive meetings wondering if you belong at the table. In the conclusion of this live coaching session with "Paul," we move from the intellectual to the psychological . We break down how to lead a team of experts when you aren't one, and how to project authority before you feel ready. In this episode, you will learn: -Leading When You Aren't the Expert: How to manage a team that knows more than you do without losing their respect (or your confidence) . -The "Elephant in the Room": Why (and how) to verbally acknowledge your blind spots to your team to build trust rather than suspicion . -The Acclimation Trap: How to balance the need to learn with the pressure to produce results—and how to know exactly when to switch from "listening" to "directing" . -Commanding the Room: How to establish Executive Presence with the C-Suite, even if you feel like the "new kid" at the table . Resources: -Join the Conversation: Join our Leadership Mindset 2.0 community on LinkedIn or Facebook -Get Live Coaching: Move from listening to doing inside the Growth Leaders Collective.
