A chilling thought, right?
After 30+ years of building and challenging ideas, I’ve seen how fear of risk can freeze even the boldest leaders. But here’s the truth:
👉 Risk isn’t the enemy — it’s the catalyst.
Ask yourself:
🔹 Do you see risk as an opportunity or a threat?
🔹 When did you last let your team fail forward?
🔹 Is fear holding back your team’s full potential?
Innovation thrives on uncertainty. ⚙️
In manufacturing — and beyond — every breakthrough is built on calculated risk, not recklessness.
It’s about being fearless, not careless.
Next time a bold idea shows up, don’t dismiss it.
Instead ask: What might I miss by not taking this risk? 💡
Your greatest innovations may be hiding on the other side of fear.
