This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Two researchers from South Africa examined how women in senior leadership roles in the manufacturing sector experience the imposter phenomenon (IP), which is “a persistent feeling of being a fraud or not deserving one’s success,” despite clear evidence to the contrary. The study explored how these feelings develop across women’s careers, what personal and workplace factors cause them, and what can be done to address them. It drew on the experiences of women in two different national contexts – South Africa and the UK – to show how cultural background, race, and organizational culture shape IP

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
