About this Quote

This quote by Trevor Nunn talks to the significance of confidence for directors. As a director, your whole profession and innovative output is based upon your confidence. Without it, you won't be able to take risks and make vibrant choices. Nevertheless, it is very important to keep in mind that there is a great line between self-esteem and conceit. Excessive conceit can result in a lack of humility and regard for others, which can be damaging to your profession.
