From www.themuse.com: Confidence is the belief in one’s abilities that fosters trust, collaboration, and a positive work environment, while arrogance manifests as an inflated sense of self-importance that undermines teamwork and morale.

Confident individuals communicate clearly, welcome feedback, and acknowledge mistakes, whereas arrogant individuals dismiss others’ contributions and avoid accountability.

To maintain confidence without crossing into arrogance, one should practice self-awareness, active listening, empathy, and celebrate team successes.
