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?
