“I'm in a position of authority and I'm not sure I'm worthy of it.”
Doubting your worthiness is not the problem, it can sharpen you. The problem is letting that doubt become paralysis. People under your authority need you to act, not to ruminate. Step into the role and grow into it in real time.
Your Practice
Write down two things you bring to this role that are genuinely valuable, not credentials, but actual qualities. Then identify one specific way you've fallen short this week in the role. Address that shortcoming directly. Worthiness is not declared. It is demonstrated, repeatedly.
The Architects
“The highest excellence is like (that of) water. The excellence of water appears in its benefiting all things, and in its occupying, without striving (to the contrary), the low place which all men dislike.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Chapter 8 (James Legge translation, 1891)
