4-1 Discussion: Challenging the Process by Taking Calculated Risks

In the reading for this module, we learned about the leadership practice of challenging the process. In the textbook reading, the authors go into detail about the need for leaders to take risks in order for organizational change to occur. However, what is emphasized is the idea of a calculated risk, which is different from the everyday notion of risk. Before posting to this discussion, make sure that you have updated the “Challenge the Process” column in your Leadership Development Action Plan document to show how you will use the concepts you have learned to improve each of the leadership areas you identified in Module One.

Once you have updated your leadership development action plan, consider the following:

·         Reflect on an example of an instance where you or a leader you followed took a calculated risk. Consider sharing with your peers if you or your peers can learn from this example.

·         What leadership theories are reflected in the example?

·         Why did you or your leader decide to take a risk?

For your discussion post, you may respond to the prompt above, ask your peers for help regarding the given topics, or answer your peers’ questions.
