Had Linda been more confident, we’d have won

The other night, I was reminded that under-confidence also has costs. In our pub quiz one of my team-mates suggested several answers but with little confidence, causing our captain to choose other answers. However, she was right every time and our captain wrong. The upshot was that we slumped to an abject defeat to the bottom team in the league. Had Linda been more confident, we’d have won.
Is that right? Surely most of the blame attaches to the captain? What is the meaning of leadership if not dealing with the strengths and weaknesses in one’s team?
