Muhammad Ali Quote on Leadership and Risk Taking

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Muhammad Ali


Playing it safe is not leadership.

To lead, you have to risk that you may not succeed.

To lead, you have to risk that some people may not follow.

To lead, you have to risk that others may criticize you.

To lead, you have to be willing to go alone until others recognize that they should follow you.

To lead, you must take risks.
