The Problem

  

Signs of a lack of individual self belief/confidence/trust or self awareness

  • don't speak up with issues/concerns/observations
  • spending more time at work than is required or expected
  • persisting with unfulfilling career/job
  • putting other's needs first
  • getting stuck in feelings of frustration
  • over-reacting to issues
  • disengagement (as a consequence of some of the above)
  • will be vulnerable to self-judgement (e.g. I procrastinate; I suffer from imposter syndrome, I'm lazy/not good enough)
  • will take advice from others and ignore own intuition
  • confuses failure to meet own needs with a need to try harder/learn more (i.e. blaming self)
  • take advantage of others (sometime subconsciously)

These are not bad. In fact, they are typical and widespread. Everyone is on a unique growth journey which is what it means to be an adult.

As an employer, you can decide that your workplace is one that helps with this growth (i.e. adopt a coaching style in the organisation; provide individual and group coaching and training).
