Take Risks
In the first few months of his papacy, Pope Francis took risks. He made unprecedented claims and unconventional decisions. "To listen and to follow your conscience means that you understand the difference," he wrote, reaching out to atheists and agnostics. He also proclaimed a year of jubilee for women who've had abortions but have since chosen to reflect on the Church's teachings on the issue. It's worth nothing that in both cases, Pope Francis didn't revise Catholic doctrine, but his leadership style offered a refreshing new perspective to many who might have previously felt shut out.
In the business world today, many leaders are blinded by the fear of failure.
Big changes are hard to make—they take time, and often many people, to institute—but messages are easy to change. Still, risk is vital to your business's growth and your own development as a leader.
Risk can help you rise, even though it sometimes leads to failure. But it will always prove a worthy teacher
