What made you successful in your past or current jobs, may not be the skills required to succeed at the next level. The only way to really know what it takes, is to do the job. And there my friends lies the catch 22. Is it the job (the chicken) or the skills to succeed at the job (the egg) that comes first. Imposter syndrome is real, and can be very detrimental to leading your career. Most of you have probably felt this at some point in your career since it's estimated that 70% of people share in the experience.

How do you try to side step the fear that comes with not being ready for a promotion? By playing up.
