Self-assurance in leadership

Others' opinions don't sway you much, and you stay true to yourself.

In leadership

• You trust your judgement and decide with confidence.
• You give firm direction the team can follow.
• Other people's opinions don't paralyse you.

What to keep an eye on

• You may miss signals about how others see you.
• Critical feedback may cost you more than you think.

A first practice

Start, stop, continue

Ask three people what you should start, stop and continue doing as a leader.
