Most if not all of us are leaders on some level. Some of you may lead major organizations, some may lead a family owned business, some may lead a Sunday School class and some may lead a family, but all are leaders on some level.
In thinking about what it takes to be a great leader, I am convinced that it takes vision – seeing what could be and even what should be. But anytime we think about what could and should be, it comes with an element of risk.
Tacitus, a Roman historian in the first century is credited for saying this, “The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.” In other words, our desire to play it safe and not take a little risk from time to time might just be what holds us back from being the leaders we need to be.
What do you need to risk today?
