"Doubt whom you will but never yourself."

To the best of my recollection, I've never posted a quote I didn't at least in part agree with . . . until now.
This comes under the heading of "feel good, love yourself" and while at its core, I understand and agree with the basic message, taken literally, never doubting yourself, never questioning your own views, is the antithesis of good management.
Now, with that disclaimer, leaders must also have tremendous confidence in their own ability.
How do you balance the two?

Interesting graphic (the question mark shadow is an exclamation point.)
ReplyDeleteJust like in real life; we never really know for certain whether we are right or wrong, until we actually are.
Maybe the great leaders are those who know that is the way things are.
The great leaders are those who recognize their strengths and weaknesses, taking advantage of the former, finding others to help with the latter.
ReplyDeleteThose who really do know what they are doing, also know when they don't.
ReplyDeleteIt self-monitors and which one is, is quickly obvious to most everyone.
So, do you think someone that is too self-confident can be taught/trained to be less so? How about the reverse?
