False Humility: The Silent Career Killer

False Humility: The Silent Career Killer

You’ve been operating at the next level for months.
Leading teams. Delivering multi-million projects. Building people up.

And yet, when that next-level role opens up, a tiny voice whispers —
“I’m not ready.”
“Maybe after 2 more years.”
“Others are more qualified.”

That’s false humility — and it’s stealing years of your growth.

Here’s the truth: you’ll never feel fully ready.

The job asks for 15 years — you have 13.
It needs skill X — you’ve mastered 80%.
It wants experience Y — you’ve done similar.
So you don’t apply.

Meanwhile, someone almost as qualified — but far more confident — applies.
Gets interviewed.
Gets hired.
Learns the rest on the job.

They didn’t wait to feel perfect.
They became ready by taking the leap.

If you’ve already been doing the work — it’s time to own it.
Stop letting perfect be the enemy of promoted.
