Lee shares a personal story about his son's confidence and how it relates to building successful teams in business. Lee's son, Jack, plays for two football teams and has different levels of confidence and involvement with each team. Lee introduces the concept of the "Q for Confidence" formula, which includes comfort, understanding, and effort. Lee talks about the importance of creating a comfortable and supportive environment for team members to build their confidence and perform at their best. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Confidence is situational: Confidence levels can vary depending on the situation and the level of comfort one feels in that particular environment.
The Q for Confidence formula: Lee talks about the Q for Confidence formula, which consists of three elements: comfort, understanding, and effort. By assessing and improving these factors, individuals can enhance their confidence levels in different situations.
Building connection and intimacy: Building connection and intimacy within a team can boost confidence. Activities like social events, team bonding exercises, and creating a supportive environment can contribute to increased comfort and confidence.
Trust and confidence: There is a parallel between trust and confidence, they are often interconnected. Building trust within a team can enhance confidence levels and create a more positive work environment.
Enabling confidence in others: Consider how you can enable confidence in your team members. Reflect on whether you are creating a comfortable and supportive space for individuals to thrive and perform at their best.

BEST MOMENTS

"I want to talk about confidence of my son because there's been some interesting developments."

"I have seen it play out with Jack that his actual confidence levels are different and his level of involvement and interaction is different."

"Do you trust? Do you have confidence? Do your people have confidence in you?"

"Nobody comes to work to do a bad job, do they? But do we really enable our people to do a good job?"
