The Confidence Paradox: Why Competence Isn't Enough
Imagine spending your entire career striving for excellence, only to discover that something else matters more for success. This was the shocking revelation journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman uncovered when investigating confidence. What began as a search for practical advice evolved into a profound discovery: confidence is the essential bridge between thought and action, and it correlates more strongly with success than competence does. For two accomplished women who had built careers on being good at their jobs, this was a paradigm shift. The confidence gap appears everywhere-from professional basketball courts to the highest levels of government. At Washington Mystics practice, star players admitted struggling with confidence despite their obvious talent. Coach Mike Thibault identified women's tendency to dwell on failure as their biggest psychological impediment. Even Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel cope through zealous overpreperation, assuming "we don't have the level of expertise to grasp the whole thing." This isn't just anecdotal. Research shows women initiate salary negotiations four times less often than men and ask for 30% less when they do. At Hewlett-Packard, women applied for promotions only when meeting 100% of qualifications while men applied at just 60%. Most dismaying is Berkeley psychologist Cameron Anderson's finding that confidence matters more than competence for achieving status and influence. The genuinely self-assured-not the arrogant or blustering-are those who sway others and achieve their goals.
