The ability of businesses to survive and thrive often requires unconventional thinking and calculated risk taking. The key is to make the right decisions - even under the most risky, uncertain, and turbulent conditions. In the new book, Surviving and Thriving in Uncertainty: Creating the Risk Intelligent Enterprise, authors Rick Funston and Steve Wagner suggest that effective risk taking is needed in order to innovate, stay competitive, and drive value creation.

Because we are often unknowingly guided by assumptions and biases, or too influenced by a culture when deciding how to lead, we can limit our capabilities as if blindfolded. We are often unaware of our conditioning, but with a little insight, choices open up for us so we can drop the shackles that bind us to our one way thinking, emotions and behaviors. The clarity that comes from awareness allows us to operate with a purpose and authenticity that operates like a bright light, guiding us and our people through the fog of challenge and change.

"It's a marathon, not a sprint." We hear this truism all the time, but in business there's constant pressure to go all out and never let up.

It all sounds great - until the company overextends itself and collapses like a badly trained racehorse in the home stretch.

Die Einstellung bewirkt unser Urteil, wie wir über eine Sache denken, ob wir uns für oder gegen etwas entscheiden- oder uns gar nicht entscheiden können. Motive sind dafür verantwortlich, diese Entscheidungen treffen zu können.
