Count The Cost: Risk Requires More Than Good Intentions

Loading player...
In this third episode of Ziwani’s RISK series, Kerryne Krause and Lerato Thekiso reflect on the importance of prudently counting the cost of risk as business leaders. From taking that first step as an entrepreneur to confronting corruption – they agree that good intentions must be matched with wisdom, governance and grit.
 
As an example, Kerryne shares a sobering story of a well-intentioned but hasty decision to comply with new legislation – one that cost her company millions and nearly shut it down.

So whether you're navigating regulatory complexity, ethical grey areas, or high-pressure leadership moments, this episode will challenge you to see risk not as something to avoid, but as something to ReFrame – through courage and a Kingdom lens.
