Quote of the Day -- Malcolm Gladwell

"...overconfidence is a disease of experts” and “incompetence is a disease of idiots,” he says. And while Idiots “don’t get that far in the world,” experts “rise to positions of leadership.”Overconfident leaders often “have an estimation of their abilities that is greater than their actual abilities. That’s a very serious problem and that leads to mistakes every bit as consequential, if not more consequential than the mistakes of incompetence.
