If you are going to be confident in your leadership, you must master the basics of your domain. Practice them in various combinations. Remember that it is a process of constant learning and adaptation. Prepare yourself for unforeseen challenges

Here is an example. Consider athletes training for the Olympics. Their confidence is a result of rigorous practice. They learn to combine various skills. They prepare themselves for any competition scenario. Now, apply this lesson to business. What are the varying factors? Geopolitical conflicts like Russia-Ukraine, U.S.-China relations, and global leadership changes. You must be prepared to navigate through these.

Remember the two tools in your arsenal, preparation and practice. The more you engage in mental rehearsals for various scenarios, the more intuitive and confident you become in tackling real-world challenges. Develop a mindset that embraces uncertainty. Prepare for it with foresight and agility. This is what defines true leadership.
