Author: Think about watching a sports match between two teams, where one team is more confident than the other. The members of the more confident team know that they have a good chance of winning. As a result, everyone on the team makes good decisions, and the players work together seamlessly. Meanwhile, the other team’s confidence is shaky. Players doubt their abilities, they hesitate, and they don’t commit fully to any particular course of action. When this happens, it’s likely that the more confident team will win.
The same principles apply in the workplace – when you have people on your team who have low self-confidence, this can hold them back from reaching their full potential. This is why it’s important that we do what we can to boost the confidence of those around us, especially if we’re leading a team.

The leadership is slightly complex thing, so I wrote this ideas that I had left in the inkwell. For me a leader has to:
To know in what he invests the time: identify “his spendthrifts of time” of his team of work. Are you doing things that he does not need, like to go to unproductive meetings?
To focus in the contribution: he must asking himself: what can I do to affect of significant form the results of this organization?
To develop fortitude: his own and the his subordinates. If you work with the people, benefit from his fortitude instead of concentrating on his weaknesses or flaws.
To establish priorities: do the most important things first. Those who commit themselves with a long list of projects, and advance a little every day, they do not reach turned out in any.
To systematize the decision making:
a) define the problem in precise and finished way.
b) specify what the decision must achieve.
c) turn the decision into action (report what debit to do to him who it should do it).
d) prove the effectiveness of the decision obtaining feedback.
