Hypothetical situation where 20 executives board an airplane and are told
that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature
pilotless technology: It is an uncrewed aircraft. Each one of the CEOs is
then told, privately, that their company's software is running the
aircraft's automatic pilot system. Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the
aircraft, each offering a different type of excuse.
>
> One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed.Asked why
he is so confident in this first uncrewed flight, he replies: "If it's the
same software that runs my company's IT systems, this plane won't even take
off."
>
> This is called Confidence!
