To lead is to live dangerously because when leadership counts, when you lead people through difficult change, you challenge what people hold dear—their daily habits, tools, loyalties, and ways of thinking—with nothing more to offer perhaps than a possibility.

If someone throws herself off a tall building, it may make sense to employ Newtonian physics in order to explain her immediate prospects. But it is also quite obvious that this explanation fails to address other important questions which we may wish to ask about that person's life and fate.
