  The gap between confidence and overconfidence is invisible. Crossing it can cost you everything. The best leaders know the balance—confidence paired with humility, boldness grounded in caution and vision sharpened by self-awareness.

The article from Forbes Finance Council, titled "The Cost of Confidence: How Overconfidence Could Destroy Your Business," discusses the detrimental effects of overconfidence in business leadership. It highlights how overconfidence can lead to poor decision-making, where leaders might overestimate their abilities, ignore critical feedback, and make risky financial decisions without adequate risk assessment. The piece points out that overconfident leaders often fail to recognize their limitations, leading to strategic missteps, such as overleveraging, entering markets without sufficient research, or ignoring competitive threats. This can result in financial losses, missed opportunities, and even the downfall of the company. The article suggests that fostering a culture of humility, encouraging diverse perspectives, and implementing checks and balances can mitigate the risks associated with overconfidence, thereby promoting more sustainable business growth and stability.
