Risks are Not Statues

Too many teams treat risks like monuments, something to admire from a distance, immovable and eternal.

But risks are not statues.

They evolve, in both absolute and comparative terms.

They change shape.

They erode.

They grow.

They can be managed, redirected, but best of all – they always provide opportunities.

When we freeze them in place (“That’s just how it is”), we stop adapting. The best leaders don’t just identify risks. They stay in motion with them.

Running an SME is a constant balancing act between growth and risk. But with structure, foresight, and resilience, those risks become opportunities to build stronger, smarter, and more sustainable businesses.

How did you use them as an opportunity?  

Let’s share ideas and learn from each other.
