Risky business

Playing it safe with your career may seem smart.But you really get ahead you may needto take some risks. "Nothing gives your career aa boost like suceeding at a risk".Still before you take a risk, whether its quitting your job or confronting your boss consider whether it's smart or foolish.Make sure you know yourself and your organization well enough to understand that happens if you take a risk and it doesn't work out.Will failure damage your career or will coworker admire your initiative?Will you be devastated, emotionally or financially, if you don't suceed?Or do you have a high tolerance for failure?

Suceeding where others have given up is a great way to make a name for yourself.It's a way to go ahead to take some thing that's big and dangerous .But look at what has happened to others who have tried. Have they had their reputations tarnished?Or have their efforts been rewarded?Disagreeing with your boss in anger,without having thought through what you are going to say is a foolish risk.But arranging meeting with your boos outside of the office and offering a rehearsed, well-crafted explanation of how you feel can be a risk and worthtaking.
