Usable Insight - Are you confident? Based on what?
Confidence without competence is arrogance.

Competence is the ability (skills) and capacity (resources)
to produce a positive measurable result
based upon many instances (vs. being a one trick pony)
of having done it.

I would agree with your definition. I think that sometimes you can be a one trick pony but you need to get results on a repeated basis. Most important to build confidence is to have a meaningful measure of success.

I agree! Genuine confidence is backed by a sense of responsibility to follow through, whereas arrogance is what an insecure person does with the intention to boost their own standing rather than an intention to deliver.
