Imposter Syndrome: The OODA Loop Framework from Fighter Pilots with Major Hayden

8:33Jay FaulknerHOST
But I mean, it's a testament to how good it is that at least to me, I think it's still as relevant today as it was then.

And it kind of came to me when I realized imposter syndrome was a problem I had, but it was also a problem with people that I was mentoring.

So as I got a little bit more senior and more experienced, one of my favorite things to do is just talk to people who are just getting started in the career or just getting started at the company and be able to understand where they are, where they want to go, what their workload looks like and how you can find the right workload for them to help them get to that next level, which, of course, you've kind of got to try to operate at the next level before you get there, which of course is where imposter syndrome shows up.

Usually it was something where a manager would say, hey, this is on fire, or hey, we're trying to build something, and everyone has really good dev skills, but no one knows how to operationalize this thing and get it going.
