Episode 11. Exploring The Silver Lining Of Imposter Thoughts With Professor Basima Tewfik
In today's episode, we are speaking with Professor Basima Tewfik who is a Professor of Career Development and Work and Organisation Studies at MIT Sloan School of Management in Massachusetts in the United States.
Basima is known for her research examining the psychology of the social self at work. Where she seeks to define a new conversation around two underexplored phenomena in the organisational literature that implicate the social self: Workplace imposter thoughts (popularly known as Imposter Syndrome) defined as the belief that others overestimate one’s competence at work, and request-declining at work, defined as the active decision not to help others at work.
Basima also examines effective employee and workgroup functioning in the modern workplace, an increasingly important topic given the rising complexity of work.
Basima’s work has been awarded a number of accomplishments including 40 under 40 Best Business School Professor and Thinkers 50. Basima has been suggested as someone to watch for the 30 Thinkers in 2022.
