Episode #20
Entering stage 3 of ‘Devising means to Achieve the Vision’ both Ghadah and Martin discuss role# 6 of Taking personal risks in an organizational context: what does it mean? how much risk can a leader take? And why personal risks?
Ghadah stresses the fact that from day one or the organizational transformation, the leader has been taking personal risks by putting themselves out there for others to criticize them and scrutinize their decisions or transformational effort. She argues personal risks come with the job. If you don’t you are asserting the status quo and preventing yourself from harm by hiding under the shadow of "business as usual".
