In my business, one of the 3 partners is very risk averse. Risk averse to the point that it is hindering our growth. He is afraid to pursue new opportunities out of fear of taking a risk. I'm not referring to reckless decisions, but well thought out, calculated risks, such as expanding our product line or partnering with companies that have complementary product offerings.
We have missed out on several good opportunities because he is afraid to take a risk.
What are some good ways to encourage someone who is risk averse to take a calculated risk now and then?
Any strategies or even books or other sources you can recommend are appreciated.
