The Hidden Challenge: 71% of CEOs in Canada Struggling with Imposter Syndrome

Recent studies show that a startling 71% of CEOs in Canada are struggling with imposter syndrome, a psychological condition where leaders doubt their accomplishments and fear being exposed as "frauds." Despite their success, many CEOs grapple with self-doubt, which can severely impact their decision-making, organizational culture, and overall leadership effectiveness. To overcome these hidden challenges, it is essential for CEOs to engage in self-reflection, seek mentorship, and invest in leadership development. Addressing imposter syndrome is not only vital for personal growth but also for unlocking an organization's full potential.
