That feeling is called the impostor phenomenon, and Alex is precise about what it is and what it isn't. It's not low self-esteem, and it's not a lack of skill. Research consistently shows it's most prevalent in highly competent, high-achieving people. It's a specific failure to internalize evidence of your own capability: successes get attributed to luck, circumstances, or the team around you; failures get attributed entirely to you. In tech leadership, this pattern hits with particular force, because most technical leaders were promoted without preparation for the human complexity of the role, then expected to perform certainty in rooms where they were genuinely still learning. If you've ever sat at the head of a meeting and felt, somewhere underneath the confidence, like you were performing it, this episode is for you. ✉︎ FOLLOW ME ON: ⤵︎ LinkedIn: @aleksandralemanska TikTok: @aleksandra_lemanska X: @lemanskills Startup Community Poznan: @startup-community-poznan-scp www.lemanskills.com Join Leadership Pulse! https://lemanskills.com/pulse/","meta_description":"▶︎ #159 | “I Feel Like a Fraud - And I'm the One Running the Team.” In this solo episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast, Aleksandra Lemańska names s…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1006,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/leman-tech-leadership-podcast-7045357/episodes/159-i-feel-like-a-fraud-and-i-m-the-one-running-the-team/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/leman-tech-leadership-podcast-7045357/159-i-feel-like-a-fraud-and-i-m-the-one-running-the-team.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
