1 Know yourself
Realize what you're awesome at and what you're not. Be confident about the skills and capabilities you possess and focus on those. Hire people to handle the rest.

2 Set reasonable expectations
Even rock star leaders are bound to fail when they hold themselves to unreasonable expectations.

3 Ditch the negativity
Negativity and confidence don't go together.

4 Dress for success
Don't just act the part - look it. Dressing sharp can improve the way others see you as well as the way you see yourself.

5 Act without hesitation
Whatever it is, just go for it. If you're feeling unsure about the same action over and over again, ask yourself what's holding you back

6 Prepare yourself
don't go into a meeting without doing your homework.

7 Don´t let over-confidence hinder your success
Not only can over-confidence be a turn off for others, it can blind you to important changes you need to make at your company.
