There is a thin line of difference between confidence and arrogance - Azim Premji
I was reading to a mail forwarded by my colleague about Inspiring excerpts from the address by Azim Premji , founder, Wipro , at IIT Delhi's convocation ceremony
I liked his lessen #4:
Lesson 4: Nothing fails like success
The fourth lesson I have learnt is the importance of humility. There is a thin line of difference between confidence and arrogance. Confident people are always open to learn. A recent survey of executives in Europe showed that the single most important quality needed for leadership success was the willingness to learn from any situation. Arrogance on the other hand stops learning. It comes with a feeling that one knows all that needs to be known and has done all that needs to be done.
This really really make sense, comes very handy in the corporate world.
Cheers,
