Why is it that when something goes “wrong” instead of walking away… leaders tend to double down.

• Take more risks.
• Go harder at the thing.
• Work smarter and think differently to solve it.
• Gather the right people on the team to brainstorm and figure it out.
• Get even more persistent.
• Prove that the impossible isn’t.
• Jump first, look second (and never looking back).

Leaders may not always be gamblers – with money that is – but they do tend to double down with some pretty tangible and precious resources. They use their creativity, energy and time to make it turn into a bigger win. It doesn’t always pan out, but they make sure that it has the very best shot at success.
