Successful leapers assess the risk, as you point out. They certainly don't ignore it. But they still leap - when most others would hang back. And sometimes they do get the girl. Happy New Year! Joan,

My favorite definition of an entrepreneur is someone that sees a need – understands the risks – takes the action to address the need – and reaps the reward. (The word entrepreneur is derived from the French verb meaning ‘to undertake’.) The same thing can definitely be said of great leaders. Best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful Christmas season and a great 2010. Great point Joe.

All of us can take note that a leader assesses risk, weighs outcomes, institutes plans, and executes it with help of a larger team. Maybe we're all entrepreneurs - or ought to be - at heart. Merry Christmas, Joan! You hooked me at “I married him.” :-)

For me, building alliances and partnerships provides ways to share the load so there is always a little slack. Thanks for the great post. Mike...
