Sometimes we confuse self-confidence with:

● Loudness

● Brusqueness

● A resistance to change

● An unwillingness to compromise

● Stubbornness

● Fast talking

● Manipulating

● ... and Arrogance

None of these characteristics are actually signs of self-confidence. In fact, they are symptoms of an excess or a lack of self-confidence.

Individuals and organizations all have a chance to choose between a wholesome self-confidence, arrogance or insecurity. Because it is a choice, isn't it?
