Very interesting to see this data.      would love to get your perspectives on the 'scaries' executives have in all the ones you've coached and groomed through your career

Interesting that this poll has separate answers for 'Being seen as an imposter' and 'Being a failure'. There is a lot of overlap with these.

The two have slightly different meanings to me. Imposture is the act of pretending to be someone else. But being a failure could be missing the sales target, failing on projects or running the team/company to the ground.
