Product Details

About the Book

Confidence explores one of the most sought-after and misunderstood qualities in professional life: genuine self-assurance, and why it often has little to do with how loud, extroverted, or naturally self-assured a person appears. Part of the acclaimed HBR Emotional Intelligence Series, which draws on the latest psychological and neuroscience research to explore the human side of professional life, this volume brings together leading thinkers to examine the real psychological foundations of confidence, and how it can be genuinely cultivated rather than faked.

Drawing on insights from organizational psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, an expert on the surprising downsides of overconfidence, renowned leadership scholar Rosabeth Moss Kanter, executive coach Amy Jen Su, and management consultant Peter Bregman, the collection challenges the common conflation of confidence with arrogance or bravado, revealing that genuine confidence is rooted in competence, self-awareness, and a healthy relationship with failure. Readers learn practical strategies for building authentic self-belief, recovering confidence after setbacks, distinguishing productive self-assurance from destructive overconfidence, and helping others, including underrepresented team members, develop their own genuine sense of capability. Concise, research-backed, and written for busy professionals, Confidence equips readers with concrete tools for building the kind of sustainable self-assurance that drives real performance rather than empty bravado.
