GOOD MORNING ..........

What is confidence????

A hypothetical situation where 20 CEOs board an airplane and are told that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature pilotless technology: It is an uncrewed aircraft.

Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that their company's software is running the aircraft's automatic pilot system.

Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a different type of excuse.

One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed.

Asked why he is so confident in this first uncrewed flight, he replies : "If it is the same software that is developed by my company's IT systems department, this plane won't even take off." !!!!

That is called Confidence!!!

My understanding of this insight/joke is that the CEO has total confidence that his IT System Dept is no good. So he was very confident that he was safe.

Fantastic!!

That is confidence, but minus marks for the CEO!! Why would he recruit such people for him to make such a comment?? Millions invested in people and eventually a zilch result?? Is the CEO fit to run the company???? :))

Joking! But yes, one way to look at it,.. is sheer CONFIDENCE!
