to Mike Myatt for his blog “Confidence vs. Arrogance.” I think not. While confidence can be mistaken for arrogance, and vice-versa, they are clearly not interchangeable terms.

The harsh reality is that great numbers of leaders continue to operate in a vacuum by sequestering themselves away in the corner office and attempting to lead from afar.

Also, a common response is to confuse a sales engine, fulfillment process, operational process, technology platform, or any number of other areas as business models, where this is not the case.
