Orthopaedic surgeons in training and in their careers can experience a lack of confidence and imposter syndrome. Confidence is built early through continuous improvement, accomplishments, support, and reinforcement. Although it is normal to lack confidence at times, the goal is to recognize this issue, work on visualizing success, and know when to seek help. Mentors can help mentees to build confidence and to normalize thoughts of insecurity and imposter syndrome. It is critical to develop and to maintain resilience, grit, emotional intelligence, courage, and vulnerability during training and throughout one's entire orthopaedic career. Leaders in the field must be aware of these phenomena, be able to talk about such issues, have methods to combat the harmful effects of imposter syndrome, and create a safe, supportive environment conducive to learning and working. Leading well builds not only confidence in oneself but also self-confidence in others. Leaders who are able to build the confidence of individuals will enhance team dynamics, wellness, and overall productivity as well as individual and organizational success.
骨科医师在培训和职业生涯中可能会缺乏信心和有冒名顶替者综合征。信心是通过不断提高、取得成就、获得支持和加强来建立的。尽管有时缺乏信心是正常的，但目标是认识到这个问题，努力想象成功，并知道何时寻求帮助。导师可以帮助学员建立信心，并使他们对不安全感和冒名顶替者综合征的想法正常化。在培训和整个骨科职业生涯中，发展和保持韧性、毅力、情商、勇气和脆弱性至关重要。该领域的领导者必须意识到这些现象，能够谈论这些问题，有方法来对抗冒名顶替者综合征的有害影响，并创造一个安全、支持性的学习和工作环境。良好的领导不仅建立了对自己的信心，也建立了对他人的信心。能够建立个人信心的领导者将增强团队活力、健康和整体生产力，以及个人和组织的成功。
