Abstract	Emerging managers often face impostor syndrome, a pervasive psychological pattern characterized by self-doubt and fear of being exposed as a fraud despite evident competence. This study explores psychological strategies to help these individuals overcome impostor syndrome and enhance their leadership potential. Strategies such as cognitive restructuring, mindfulness practices, mentorship, and emotional intelligence development are discussed in depth. By addressing the unique challenges of new managerial roles, this research contributes to the understanding of impostor syndrome's impact on professional growth and offers actionable solutions for fostering resilience and self-confidence in emerging leaders.
