A lack of confidence
Yesterday at the office, a young intern who had finished her training period, talked to me that she had a lack of confidence.
So I explained to reassure her that it isn't always a negative thing. Indeed, I think that a person who lack of confidence, by fear of being judged, will be more intent on doing his work correctly, and will try to do his best.
On the contrary, a person too confident could overestimate his skills and rush his job.
Lack or excess of confidence could be disastrous, we should find a balance.

The ones in yellow are suggestions - using a so-called "singular they" when talking about a hypothetical person is seen as a more inclusive choice as it does not assume that the person is male. However, grammatically it's not a problem to use "he" in this case either, they way you did.
