Take The Risk
Leaders are risk-takers. The risks they take aren’t off the cuff but rather well-thought-out calculated risks. They’ve pondered what could happen, would happen, and then act.
We need more leaders who are risk takers.
Take The Risk
Vick Hope summed up risks quite well when they said:
Taking risks doesn’t mean shirking responsibility, but embracing possibilities.
Whoa… think about that for a minute. It goes right along with what I first wrote. There’s possibility in taking risks. You are acting toward something, not recklessly but with intention.
The founder of Mint, Aaron Patzer, said:
Turn a perceived risk into an asset.
Many times, we perceive something as a risk. The reality is that while there is a chance things could go wrong, there’s also the possibility of the risk becoming an asset. You learn, grow, and change every time you take a risk.
