This hoax means we fail to get the right people into the best jobs.This book identifies the battles worth fighting to give you the skills you need to:Capitalise on what you are doing well to silence the ‘imposter’.Convince others to value your hard-earned experience.Redefine confidence so it doesn’t continue to advantage the ‘status quo’.
