What is confidence???
A hypothetical situation where 20 CEOs board an airplane and are told
that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature
pilotless technology: It is an un-crewed aircraft.
Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that their company’s
software is running the aircraft’s automatic pilot system.
Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a
different type of excuse.
One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed. Asked
whyhe is so confident in this first un-crewed flight, he replies: “If it
is the same software thats developed by my company’s IT systems
department, this plane won’t even take off.” !!!!
That is called Confidence!!!
