High-potential junior and intermediates are often promoted for their technical excellence and drive. They form your organisation’s future leaders’ pipeline. As their responsibilities grow quickly, they may experience lack of confidence, imposter syndrome or pressure to constantly prove themselves. Emerging leaders can also be at risk of overworking and burnout.

High-achievers are particularly susceptible to putting a lot of pressure on themselves to succeed and prove they are up to the task.

What made your success as an individual contributor may not always work when stepping up to a managerial role.
