More often than you expect, I find competent, hard-working people surviving in dysfunctional organizations.

As a leader, your job is to motivate, educate, and communicate. This does all three.

So how do you get more confident? I use the word ‘more’ because confidence isn’t a light switch, it’s a gradual range from awkward/incompetent all the way to cocky/braggart with confident in the middle.

Understanding the difference between a growth and a fixed attitude helps you improve your ability to embrace more complex and interesting work.
