Leadership requires taking some risk

If you want to make choices, expect that you’re going to be accountable for outcomes

Be mindful of holding opinions about everything and making decisions about nothing. Decisions speak louder than commentary.

A risk-free existence isn’t a leadership role, regardless of whatever your title might be.

Leading people is inherently risky. If there’s no risk involved, it’s probably not leadership.

The upside is that almost all meaningful personal and career growth is hidden behind the risk-taking door. There’s a lot of interesting lessons to learn out there, and while you can learn a lot from others, some of them you have to learn yourself.
