Are you suffering from too few risk-takers?

I was reading Naomi Moneypenny's Talent Management, and was struck by my similar experiences with my clients. The people who've managed to keep their jobs aren't the ones willing to take risks -- they've been incented NOT to take risks. As Moneypenny says:
Now, most organizations incented these behaviors [not taking risks] during cost cutting, and now suddenly enterprises are waking up to the fact that employees have retrenched and are probably feeling highly over worked and under valued.
You can't just tell people, "It's time to take risks now." That won't work. But if they see top management taking risks -- and being rewarded to take risks -- as well as making risk-taking an explicit part of their performance goals, then you can turn things around. Take a cue from Moneypenny and reconsider your talent management processes now.
