Prudent Risk Taking

Risk-taking is a dance. The risk should be small, to allow for failure.

Leaders Drive Change

Risk-taking is challenging by nature, because of the consequences it can bring. Rob James explains how to motivate employees to take risks and how to effectively manage those risks so that, even if failure occurs, employees won’t shy away from the next risk.

Risk Taking Is Disruptive

There is a disconnect between a desire to innovate and the innovation process. You can’t scale down when you take risks; you need capacity and capability. Leaders should model risk taking and reward risk takers. Leaders should know how they show up in the world.

Healthy Risk-Taking

Taking the right kinds of risks contributes to an inspiring company culture that drives innovation. Discover what you need to build a healthy risk-taking framework.

Reframing Risk

Think of risk-taking as a skill you can develop. Normally we are in our green zone, where we’re comfortable. Don’t jump from there to a red zone risk, where it’s scary. Move into a yellow zone place of growth. Jodi Detjen gives an example of a person dealing with conflict.

Effective Risk Management

First, identify the risk. See if you can eliminate it. If you can’t eliminate it, try to contain it. If you can’t contain it, keep an eye on it. If it still goes wrong, have a Plan B. Also, change the culture to reward eliminating risks before they become real. He calls that “Prelimination.”

Resources Versus Success

Success is unrelated to the money and resources you have when you start. “Risk homeostasis” says if you lower risk in one area, you raise it in another. If you have a lot of money, you tend not to take chances. Better to spend the money on several different ideas.

Create Value Before You Create Risk

You can be an entrepreneur without going into business by being an entrepreneur in your own or someone else’s organization.
