Now we finally have an organizational philosophy centered around listless bureaucrats.
Actually, we already have a lot of those. Highly conservative organizations that ascribe a very low probability of success to any particular effort are common and arise on their own without any coaching required. All it takes is a few failed projects in the professional history of the leaders, whether at that organization or elsewhere. Unless your leadership is full of 20-somethings who have never seen an idea not work out, a far more important problem is avoiding the scenario where nobody wants to takes risks because the benefits go to the company but the failure would be pinned on them.
