CM3100-Week Five- Risk Discussion
The consequences of not accepting risk would depend on who you ask. “Life is a series of calculated risks” (Hudson, 2014). Every day, every breath we take is not guaranteed. Yet, they are things taken for granted and very little thought is given to the truth that we are not in absolute control. Our lying down at night and rising the next morning is not in our control.
God is in control. Act 17:28 (KJV) “For in him we live, and move, and have our being;” God was in control when He parted the sea allowing Israel to cross over on dry land. Had they decided not to trust God, their consequence would have been detrimental to them.
There was risk involved with the Lewis and Clark expedition, and yet, because

The negative consequence of risking transparency is that someone would exploit the weakness for their gain. The positive consequence is that a trusting relationship would be built and a cohesive bonding between leader and subordinate would develop into a team striving together to accomplish common goals of common objectives. Together, leader and subordinate, risk assessments can be made to help counter the risk factor and treat weaknesses with proactive measures.
The greatest consequence for a leader taking a risk is failure. No one wants to be a failure, leader or otherwise. Fear of failure should not prevent a leader from taking risks. It is from failures that a cure for many diseases has been discovered. It is from failures that space exploration has evolved into today’s current successful expeditions in deep space. It is from failures that continued research produced new ideas which gave birth to successful realities.
“Taking risks is part of life. By avoiding risk, we really risk what’s most important in life: reaching toward growth, our potential, and a true contribution to a common good” (student

    In the Chapter 2 from the book 50 Jobs in 50 States by Daniel Seddiqui, I selected the principle of "risk-taking". The part where Daniel showed this principle was when he became a General Store Clerk in Fishtail, Montana. The place and job description were different from what he has done before. He mentioned how the store was populated by female-only coworkers and he was the only male in the general store. He helped the store with different activities, such as preparing the breakfast, dessert, and lunch for the palladium miners.…

    “The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. That 's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born” (Bennis). Warren Bennis’s quote really opened my eyes as to why I chose George Washington as the overall best president during the antebellum period. Prior to becoming president, Washington gained leadership experience from being Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolution, from there he heavily impacted the methodology of the future presidents, in such a positive manner.…

    Leading a Continuously Changing Organization “Leaders attract internally motivated people, inspire them with a mission, and initiate new ways of thinking (Keller, 1995). The result is new influence on the culture of the organization. Great leaders are willing to challenge the status quo while trusting and empowering their people. Not only do leaders use obstacles to create a positive future, they are willing to set an example of sacrifice for the good of the next generation”. (Banutu-Gomez, M. B. & Banutu-Gomez S. M. T., 2007).…

    While reading the Time magazine article “Why the Teen Brain is Drawn To Risk”, I noticed the connections between the article and the character Chris McCandless from the book Into The Wild by author Jon Krakauer. I don't agree with the article when it says that risk taking occurs when teens are unaware of the dangers involved. Chris McCandless is a good example, because he knew the risks behind his venture into the great unknown. He knew what could go terribly wrong along the way, but still decided to take the risk. Teenagers take these risks because they don't have any responsibility to keep them accountable for their actions.…

The stories she shares about Lois and the heart she had for her community and desire to make it better make you think we need more leaders like that.

    But risk taking is important” to claim that girls should be embolden to take risk but not be reckless. The process of risk taking can help girls be brave and gain confidence.

    In “Breaking Through Uncertainty-Welcoming Adversity” by Jim Mccormick, the biggest risk-taking in the story is the initial act of skydiving. The next big risk in that story is the act of releasing one parachute for another. As said in paragraph 14 we see that ”The wrong order could cause my reserve parachute to deploy into my spinning main parachute which would result in an incurable entanglement” which makes the risk of making a bad mistake very costly; death. In the other story “Neighbours” by Lien Chao, there isn’t a significant amount of the typical risk-taking. Sally does take risks in making new friends with Joe and Elizabeth and telling them her life story.…
