H@H: Ep 18 – On this episode, hosts Paulina & Ray talk with Don Moore, the Lorraine Tyson Mitchell professor of Management of Organizations at Haas and a professor of the Leading People core course for 1st year full-time MBA students. We delve into Don’s new book, Perfectly Confident, where he tells us about the 3 forms of overconfidence (9:42), if confidence really improves performance (10:36), and what to do if you have imposter syndrome (17:30). Don also shares a few personal stories, including why he turned down a sure-fire job with a former professor (27:51). Finally, we end with practical tips (40:53) on how to correctly calibrate your own confidence.Episode QuotesConfidence without attitude is most effective when it's backed up by ability. On how to identify overconfidence in others:I would say, ask for clear evidence. Evidence that’s hard to fake; evidence of real performance: numerical, disprovable, claims of confidence. The way to handle imposter syndrome is to get better information about the struggles that others are dealing with. If being results-oriented means that you reward success and punish failure, that's dangerous because you will reward the lucky and punish the unlucky.Show ReferencesDon Moore – Haas profilePerfectly ConfidentTony Robbins’ Unleash the Power WithinThe Confidence CodeAnnie Duke – Thinking in BetsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/here-at-haas/donations
