Recommendation

Confidence is a Goldilocks trait: The right amount serves you well; too little or too much can hurt you. UC Berkeley management professor Don A. Moore introduces three forms of confidence and provides examples that illustrate why well-calibrated confidence is desirable. He offers valuable advice on how to develop and project a healthy sense of confidence that will reap benefits in your personal and professional life.

Take-Aways

  • Overconfidence and underconfidence are common and problematic. To calibrate them, weigh seven factors. 
  • First: Consider how you might be wrong.
  • Second: Assess the probability that you’re right.
