The very nature of education encourages group think and a fear of getting it wrong. When you read what great leaders throughout history have said, the willingness to take risks and be wrong is what leads to their eventual success. The thing that separates those who become great leaders and those who don’t is that great leaders are resilient. When their plans do not work out they try again. They don’t stop trying until they meet with success. Jeanine Joy
About This Quote

The very nature of education encourages group think and a fear of getting it wrong. When you read what great leaders throughout history have said, the willingness to take risks and be wrong is what leads to their eventual success. The thing that separates those who become great leaders and those who don't is that great leaders are resilient. When their plans do not work out they try again.

They don't stop trying until they meet with success. People who hear about great leaders in the world often ask, "How did they do it?" But, when you hear about these people, you can never think that their success was inevitable. It's easy to see what made them the way they are, but it's hard to understand why these people are willing to take risks when their plans don't work out.
