Leadership: Five 'Absolutes' for Getting High Performance
Being a sports fan, I also like these quotes:
“Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back.” —Babe Ruth.
“You miss every shot you don’t take.” —Wayne Gretzky.
As leaders, we want to promote calculated risk taking. One of my sayings is “the wise take calculated risks … fools take careless risks … the cowardly take no risks at all.” Let’s not be careless or cowardly, but master the art of taking calculated risks in striving for better results.
