Leaderly Quote: If you’re going to grow…
By Jo Miller
Risk-taking is a constant theme here at Be Leaderly.
If you aspire to lead, climb, and thrive as an emerging leader, there’s no avoiding it — you’ll have to take some risks.
Over the past year, I’ve gathered a bunch of quotes that I hope have inspired you to take more of those career-enhancing risks…
“Take smarter risks, not just safe ones.” — Margie Warrell
“If you don’t take risks, you’ll always work for someone who does.” — Nora Denzel
“If you’re not taking risks in your career, you might actually be creating more risk for yourself.” — Valerie Oswalt
“Opportunity does not come gift-wrapped. You must take risks.” — Nina Bhatti
… to which I now add this great one, from IBM CEO, Ginni Rometty:
“If you’re going to grow, you’re going to have to do things that put you at risk.”
