Something most leaders experience throughout their careers is imposter syndrome. Yet it’s still surprising when someone well respected, admired and looked up to by much of the industry talks about their battle with it. In this weeks episode of Bytes & Banter we talked to Kirk Weisler about his journey and overcoming this common leadership struggle. The Kirk Weisler origin story is one that all leaders can really glean wisdom from.
As Kirk does what he does best, inspire through story, it will leave you with a resounding desire to choose hard things. The benefits of choosing to step outside of what’s comfortable can impact the trajectory of your life (it sure did for Kirk). It's also a reminder that as a leader, it’s our job to set the tone when the voices in our own head tell us “you don’t belong” or “you’re not qualified). It's a reminder to ourselves that showing up every day for those we lead should never be about us. In the moments that we may question if our leadership made a mistake hiring us, it’s important to remember that main thing... it’s not about us. We are in the place we find ourselves for a reason. Our job as leaders is to remember that it’s not about us but about those who are willing and gracious enough to give us the opportunity to impact them in some way.
