I heard a radio "talking head" say something to the effect of, "If you allow lawyers to run your business, your business is doomed"

The angle he aimed at was that a lawyers job is typically to minimize (legal) risk and as such is always in fear of exposing the business to "risk". However, RISK is what allows a business to take a chance and succeed. The most appropriate method for managing corporate lawyers is to inform them of the direction the business is to go and for them to "Find a way to make it happen"

Obviously much of that is to be taken with a grain of salt, but the concept is to take a reasonable chance and not to fear POSSIBLE or POTENTIAL repercussions... PROBABLE and LIKELY repercussions are another issue...
