Seizing opportunities is a cornerstone of strong leadership, however, if they are not the right opportunities for your business at this point in its journey, the results can push you off course, increase your risks, and actually delay your growth.

This is why having a clearly articulated growth game plan is critical to help you assess such opportunities and make informed and risk-aware decisions. At the end of the day, if it doesn’t feel right, trust you instincts and stick to your plan.
