The document discusses the imposter syndrome and the process of developing authority. It presents a 10 step continuum for moving from feeling like an imposter to establishing authority. The steps include deciding to strive, meeting critics and bolstering one's authority thesis, calling in reserves, jumping into action, doing the work, allowing success, choosing to stay rather than quit, looking up to markers of authority, and celebrating achievements while maintaining wise worship. Quotes from various figures are provided discussing their own feelings of imposter syndrome.
