Strategy 9 : "Be willing to take a Big Risk."

 

In this chapter, mainly risk taking is talked. According to author, leader should evaluate the risk weather it is necessary to take or not. If there is no need, a leader should not take it because his choice will involve a team. However, there is sometimes to take a risk. It is when the return overcomes the risks.

 

In my daily life, evaluating risks is what I am not good at. As irresolution is my weak point, I used to consider too much, cannot make decisions and miss chances. I think I can think both sides of things, but what I have to improve is judging and evaluating balance of risks and return.

When locking back my life, however, I made some big decisions such as going to abroad to study or going to ICU. In the process of decision making, I think I always compare the risk of doing and risk of not doing. And the motto “You’ll regret the things you didn’t do more than the ones you did.” have pushed me so far. It often happen to me that before starting things I feared of big risks, but after I gone through things, the risk seemed to be nothing. Always things are high risk and high return. Higher risks are, more I can grow up, I think.

 

 

 

 

However, in my opinion just taking risks is enough for leader.I think the qualities that are required to a leader is also being able to risk managing. Risk managing is minimizing risks by conditioning or controlling situation. This skill is necessary for making things sure when try to accomplish.
