There are two things we don't tolerate well as business leaders - risk and, counterintuitively, success. When it comes to risk, we would rather enjoy the reward without having to experience the associated uncertainty. We might fantasize about leading a life of leisure without having to put ourselves out there, while still collecting the same or better rewards. Interestingly, we also tend to retreat as the very success we have been working towards draws closer. In this episode, we build up your tolerance for both the risk involved in rewards, and for success itself.


What You'll Learn From This Episode:

  • How risk intolerance can keep us from the rewards we seek and has us fighting with reality daily
  • How success intolerance might have us quitting just before reaching our goal
  • How to foster risk-taking and securing success in your team members in order to tap into their full capability
