Speaking confidently could also be seen as removing uncertainty and focusing a team to move toward a goal. One of the more interesting things I learned from reading "1776" was the difference between the confidence George Washington projected, and the uncertainty in his letters to friends.

It takes a leader to confidently provide a vision and execute towards it. It also takes a leader to quickly notice a need to change course, own it, and keep momentum going.
