CONFIDENCE

　　From the locker room to the living room to the boardroom—howwinners become winners . . . and stay that way.　　Is success simply a matter of money and talent? Or is thereanother reason why some people and organizations always land ontheir feet, while others, equally talented, stumble again andagain?　　There’s a fundamental principle at work–confidence–that makes thedifference between winning and losing in any competition, be it ahigh school basketball game or a high-stakes business situation. InConfidence, Harvard Business School professor Rosabeth Moss Kantershows why organizations of all types may be brimming with talentbut not be winners. Based on her extraordinary investigation ofsuccess and failure in companies such as Continental Airlines andVerizon and sports teams such as the New England Patriots andPhiladelphia Eagles, as well as the arenas of education, healthcare, and politics, Kanter explores a new theory and practice ofsuccess and provides people in leadership positions with aprescriptive program for maintaining a winning streak or turningaround a downward spiral.　　Packed with brilliant, practical ideas, Confidence provides freshthinking about success in all facets of life—from the factors thatcan make or break corporations and governments to the keys forsuccessful relationships in the workplace or at home.
