The imposter syndrome is real and relevant. All of us at some point or another question our capabilities and competence. It’s easy to start down the path of wondering how you got hired or promoted over others and end up waiting for people to discover how little you know or how lacking your skills are. It can happen to anyone—especially the smartest and most successful—but we live with our thoughts and have to be careful what we tell ourselves.

As a business owner, it’s up to you to make sure that your employees thrive. Without them, your business would certainly not be where it is today – and, unless you take proper care of them, you might see them move elsewhere. They could end up with one of your competitors instead, for example, which ensures them the kind of success that you could have enjoyed.

I work with a lot of church leaders. One thing I’ve discovered, if they let me get close enough inside their real world, is that many are hurting. They are facing burnout. They are tired. Many are worn down from carrying the stress of everyone else, yet finding few people they can trust with whom to share their burdens. They face the pressure of dysfunctional leadership and the loneliness of being a leader.

Or you’ve been feeling guilty about not replying to an email, even though replying would only take 10 minutes.
