Episode #307 // There’s a lot to be said for having confidence. It’s an essential ingredient for any leader who aspires to lift their people to greater heights. Without confidence, it’s difficult to effectively execute on even the most fundamental tasks that competent leadership requires. Confidence is incredibly valuable… and you can’t fake it! But, I feel as though it’s been getting a bad rap lately — confidence comes with a range of negative connotations, and those who are less confident often mistake it for insincerity, bluster, or even the inappropriate use of power. My observation, made over many years operating at the highest levels, is that confidence is an essential ingredient of high performance leadership.  This is why it’s so important to focus on your own level of confidence, to understand what you need to do to increase it, and to know how to keep the dark side of confidence at bay. ———————— FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?
