Risk, Real
…In my experience successful risk takers are not overly preoccupied with making mistakes. They learn and move on. They are also individuals who are willing to admit when they are wrong….
Most importantly, these are people who minimize the downside and focus on what could go right. They are relentlessly upbeat problem solvers. To succeed in business - and in social media environments - today, one has to be made of this cloth. It’s not just about resiliency and endurance - it’s about flexibility and adaptability. These are qualities that will also serve organizations well….
Risk is not a Four-Letter Word, Valeria Maltoni
I’d say the real risk is being blind to being wrong.
One antidote is the focus on what could go right and recognizing when the evidence doesn’t support the hope of that focus.
