當你不自信時, 做有自信地領導

面對嚴峻的挑戰，感到不確定甚至害怕是很正常的。但是如果你的團隊意識到你被嚇倒了，那麼很難激發出他們發展的機會。

你可以通過做四件事來樹立信心。

1. 展示對團隊成員的同情心。他們想知道你並沒有脫離他們的感受。
2. 傳達你對團隊的願景和挑戰。人們需要清楚地知道他們的方向。
3. 為團隊確定方向。向他們展示你如何達到共同的願景。
4. 舉證。他們需要一個理由去瞭解你告訴他們的事情，所以為你的方向和樂觀提供證據。

以明確的，親自的，參與團隊已經在做的工作。這將建立你的團隊的信心-和你自己的信心。

Lead Confidently When You Aren’t Feeling Confident

When faced with a tough challenge, it’s normal to feel uncertain, and maybe even afraid. But it’s hard to inspire your team to rise to the occasion if they sense that you’re intimidated.

You can project confidence by doing four things.

1. Demonstrate empathy for your team members. They want to know that you aren’t out of touch with what they’re feeling.
2. Communicate your vision for the team — and that tough challenge. People need to have a clear sense of where they are headed.
3. Set a direction for the team. Show them how you’ll reach the vision together.
4. Give people proof. They need a reason to buy in to what you’re telling them, so offer evidence for your direction and optimism.

Be specific, be personal, and reference the work that the team is already doing. This will build your team’s confidence — and your own.

克制你的傲慢

有效力的領導者需要有自信。但是，過多的自信就成為傲慢，會讓你招惹麻煩。傲慢的領導者很容易對自己的自信超越了團隊和公司。

以下的方式能夠讓你克制自己的傲慢： 

1. 請員工給予回饋。你必須建立一個員工願意真誠告訴你他們怎麼看你的氛圍。讓他們說出對你的期待。你不要回辯，靜下心來想想，如果你閃開了他們，自顧自的往前沖，會得到比較好的結果嗎？
2. 走進群眾。過於自信的領導者通常會把自己搞得好像很似乎忙，而與他的客戶、供應商與員工疏于聯繫，不了解他人的實際需要。你應該妥善安排時間，接近他們，讓他們告訴你公司實際上做得如何，他們期待的是什麼。

Control your arrogance

Effective leaders need confidence. But too much self-confidence can become arrogant and cause you trouble. It's easy for an arrogant leader to be more confident than a team or company.

The following ways can help you restrain your arrogance:

1. Ask employees to give feedback. You have to build an atmosphere where employees are willing to tell you honestly how they see you. Let them say what they expect of you. You don't have to retort. Just think about it. If you dodged them and rushed forward, would you get a better result?
2. Walk into the masses. Overconfident leaders tend to make themselves seem busy, but they are not in touch with their customers, suppliers and employees and do not understand the actual needs of others. You should arrange your time properly, approach them and let them tell you how the company is actually doing and what they expect.
