Risk

Beingaleader means you sometimes need to take a risk. On a person. On a process. On yourself.

Have you ever taken a risk on a person? That’s a tough one. They might be unknown. They might come with baggage. They might show glimmers of hope in one area but not so much in other areas. How far do you go down that road with someone? What risks are you willing to take?

Have you ever tried out a risky new process? There is tried and true. And then there is innovation. Something that hasn’t been tried but on its face looks like it might be more efficient or cost-effective? What’s your risk tolerance for trying to get ahead with your new process? What risks are you willing to take to achieve more as a team?

What risks have you taken on yourself as you’ve learned to become a better leader? What training are you willing to take? What books are you willing to read? What experiences are you willing to go through in order to learn a skill set you currently don’t have? What risks are you willing to take on yourself?

Beingaleader means you sometimes need to take a risk. Be willing to venture out.
