This quote by Ivan Illich speaks with the concept that management is not about being right all the time. Instead, it is about having the nerve to take risks and make choices, even if they may not be the most popular or appropriate ones. Leadership is about having the confidence to make decisions and do something about it, even if it suggests going versus the grain. It is about having the strength to stand up for what you believe in and to take responsibility for the repercussions of your choices. Leadership is not about being ideal all the time, however rather about having the nerve to make choices and act. It is about having the strength to stand up for what you believe in and to take responsibility for the effects of your decisions.
