[Karl-Pizzolatto]

What’s the current word to inspire folks to take the risk… In my experience, ‘Diversity’, or whatever you want to call it, in the workplace has nothing to do with inspiring folks to take risks… Diversity, tolerance, sensitivity, etc., as I’ve seen it implemented, basically means ‘We have to acknowledge the current political fashion and document that we did it.’ This is to satisfy some political power. Corporate directive, local action group, media, protestors, investors–you get the drift. In cases where I’ve seen people actually encouraged to take risks, there ain’t no ‘word to inspire’. You’re asking somebody to take a risk! Just saying some magic words aren’t going to do it. You can demonstrate to them that mistakes are not punished. That failure involves learning, not retribution. But you must demonstrate this by concrete action as failures and mistakes occur. People are not stupid. Don’t expect people to ‘take risks’ involving their livelihoods just because you hung an ‘Inspirational’ poster on the break room wall.
