Mon 8/3 — The sentences accomplished leaders say quietly
"I'm a senior leader, but I still struggle with confidence." I hear some version of that more often than almost anything else…and rarely from someone who is struggling on paper. It comes from accomplished executives. People with the title, the track record, and the respect of everyone around them. The same few sentences surface again and again: I don't know why I take criticism so personally. I feel like I am constantly proving myself. I know what needs to be said, and I freeze anyway. From the outside, nothing looks wrong. Inside, a capable leader is quietly managing a level of self-doubt no one would guess is there. I stopped hearing these as confidence problems a long time ago. They are usually the sign that a leader's authority got worn down at some point, and never deliberately rebuilt. That one distinction is the whole foundation of the work I do. If one of those sentences sounded familiar, you are not the only senior leader carrying it. Which one landed closest?
