InfoWorld blogger Bob Lewis on confidence vs. arrogance:
In general, I figure confident people are comfortable acknowledging the good ideas and insights of others, where arrogant people, never being wrong, rarely acknowledge that anyone with a different perspective is ever right … and usually won’t have any basis for evaluation, since they rarely waste their time listening to anyone else.
Try this on for size: Confidant people figure they’re one of the capable people in the room. Arrogant people each figure he or she is the only capable person in the room.
Uh oh…
