#LeadershipTuesdays: Have Confidence…Rosalynn Carter

“If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can't accomplish it. You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.”

—Rosalynn Carter

On Tuesdays, womenatliberty.com presents #LeadershipTuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage and strengthen women leaders. Today we feature a practical quote on confidence from former First Lady Rosalynn Carter and a resource written by leadership expert and motivational speaker, Brian Tracy.

The article, “How to Be a Confident Leader in Uncertain Situations”, provides helpful insight how you can build self confidence and make better decisions for yourself and your team. One thing that you have to be comfortable with is that you do not know everything and you will make mistakes sometimes. Everybody does. What is important is that you can admit your failures and move forward.

Lastly, I was thinking about this just yesterday. One of the most important things you can do and also teach your children is this: know what your values are and then live a life that is consistent with your values. Your values are the foundation for your entire life. Consistently living your values builds confidence and makes you a better leader.
