Self-confidence is an integral part of individual personality that facilitates in developing
good leadership. Studies over time has demonstrated that people with self-confidence tends to
become good leaders in various organizational settings. Studies have been conducted on the
building blocks of leadership developments which indicate that the most evident variable when it
comes to lead a group of people is directly associated with self confidence. Even in business
management studies, there is a clear cut relation between these two components. To determine
the self confidence of a person, profiling tool is used. It is a set of questions that are required to
be answered in the format provided with the questions. Generally, it is a set of 10-15 questions
where the answers are required to be marked. The answers vary in a scale of one to five that are,
disagree strongly, disagree, neutral, agree and agree strongly. Marking is done on the basis of the
score that comes out of the answers. A tentative interpretational scale is set in the profiling tool
that indicates the level of confidence of the person under study. The profiling tool in hand has
four divisions based on the answers of 15 questions in hand. They are 15-34, 35-54, 55-64 and
65-75. The lowest slab demonstrates the requirement of strengthening of self confidence. Second
part reflects moderate or average self-confidence, third part reflects a high and desirable level of
self confidence and the final part reflects the very high self-confidence with a possible tendency
towards arrogance. The last but one section indicates the proper leadership where confidence is
in balance with the right ingredients that is required for a good leader, whereas, the last part has
the possibility to tend towards the arrogance. The result from the self-confidence test of the
subject scores 50, which indicates a moderate or average self-confidence. Hence, the leadership
skills expected from the person will be moderate. The decisions taken will also be moderate in
