About This Quote
When you are trying to lead, you have to be willing to go out there and take some risks. You have to try some things that may not be the best for your team. But, if you are willing to take some risks for the right reasons, you can become a great leader. When people are following you because they believe in what you are trying to do, then you are a great leader.
