I’ve learned over the years that while you can’t be dismissive of risk, particularly in the corporate world… if you are too focused on it you don’t do anything. You don’t get anything done. CEOs of companies that need to grow and need to evolve cannot be risk-averse. So while I’m always aware that there’s risk involved in some of these big decisions, I focus far more on opportunites. And it was the opportunity that Pixar presented to Disney that I spent much of my time on, in weighing whether we should step up and buy Pixar. – Disney CEO Bob Iger, via The Wrap
