Consider an informal get-together to discuss a key issue or topic. The best leaders are confident enough to give credit to others when things go right — and to take the blame when things go wrong. If someone seems to have an axe to grind, find a way to engage that individual informally to find out the problem.

When someone fails to provide all the information she needs to do her job, she explains: “I understand that you need this report by tomorrow. One colleague always submitted incomplete information for a monthly report. That will give you the confidence to manage your work assertively.

You can provide needed information, support, data and resources without your boss asking for it. Instead, offer solutions when you inform her of problems. A confident display from you assures your boss you’re in control. Present solutions rather than problems. Resist the temptation to pass all problems along to your boss.

Co-workers will gain confidence in you if they see you react calmly during difficult times. Don’t listen to what others say about you : The person making comments about you may not be fully informed. Make others feel they important to you. Shut up : Listen more than you speak. Be careful what you say in stressful situations.

Putting confidence into your copy almost to the point of arrogance is pretty powerful stuff, and it works out great for a lot of people. However, all too often this confidence turns to cockiness. If you’re still not sure, I’ll be honest – I’m probably not going to be able to help you yet, because this takes confidence on both sides.
