Leadership is not playing it safe

How often do you take risks?

Being a leader requires taking risks in uncertain circumstances and when there is no guarantee of success.

When taking risks, it's beneficial to remember three things:

  • Never take yourself too seriously.

  • Failure can be a great story to tell, sometimes even better (funnier) than a success story.

  • People regret more the things they didn't do rather than the things they did.

  • Worst case scenario, you will have one less thing to regret 😜

Life is easier when you embrace a playful attitude.

Play is how we learn and grow while enjoying ourselves.

 

❣Leadership can be fun

We need only always attempt to find a way to reframe any situation into one worth experiencing, regardless of the result.

So,

This day, week, month take off your formal “suit,”

Take things lightly,

Whatever you do, imagine you are on the playground with your friends. Feel it.

Work as you play.

See how it feels to stay playful always,
