Looking Confident versus Feeling Confident

Looking like a confident leader is harder than feeling confident, believe it or not. How you feel will always reflect on the outside. As a leader, you are consistently in communication with your team, telling them:

-  how you want things done

- which direction to take

- the consequences of work not done well or on time

 

It will always reflect your confidence because you have to be very sure and firm so that the rest of the team feel confident being under your wings. Leaders don’t need to know everything but decisions and direction must be communicated effectively.
