Yeah to echo Cat's point, I think CEOs may well suffer from it (I've known those that do) - but they have fewer things that they are "supposed to know" and also can still project success through "faking confidence" if it's temporarily lacking.
Right, yes CEOs are leaders, they're more like politicians than like craftsmen, exuding confidence is their trade. Apples and oranges comparison for sure ;)
They are also, almost by necessity, almost always sociopaths. If they felt like an impostor, they'd almost certainly never admit it. In fact, they might be an impostor (of sorts). Fake it til you make it, and if you don't, keep faking it is pretty much standard behavior. They also don't relate to other people the same way a "normal" person might.
Note that by saying they are sociopaths, I'm not saying they are bad people. They're just different. But it's almost universally true due the the MacLeod Hierarchy. And since that really applies to any bureaucracy, your comparison to politicians is perfectly accurate.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
