Reward Risk Taking Instead Of Risk Avoiding
Trying to get some team members to take responsibility for what they do can sometimes seem impossible and frustrating sometimes. People will come up with all sorts of excuses about why things aren’t done …. “ I was too busy” …” That’s not my job” …. “I didn’t receive the paperwork” ….You didn’t give me the go ahead” .. etc
Many organisations operate under the “Go ahead and do it, but don’t do anything wrong” rule. Successful businesses encourage people to take smart risks, give them boundaries to work within and realise that making intelligent mistakes are part of the price you pay for personal and company growth.
We all have a tendency to avoid making mistakes. It’s a natural part of being human. We all want recognition and acceptance and one sure way of achieving this is to “look good” and don’t do anything “wrong” that will attract attention or criticism.
Every time you try something new you run the risk of failure. But worse than this, is the consequence of not taking risks … boredom, frustration, stagnation and ultimate decline in company performance.
The way to convert risk avoiders into risk takers is to create a climate that promotes, rewards and supports risk taking and gives people the opportunity to learn from their mistakes with out fearing repercussions. Here are some guidelines to consider when establishing a healthy risk taking environment:
a. Educate and remind people that intelligent errors are part and parcel of making progress in the company and as an individual.
b. Walk the talk .. make sure you are leading by example . be open about your own mistakes and how you have learnt from them.
c. Don’t waste time on small risks … if you want to achieve great things, take on great projects!
d. Celebrate both successes and setbacks … we all like to give recognition when we win, but the time for greatest support is when we have taken a chance, tried our best and have fallen flat on our face. If Edison had given up after his 900th “failure”, the light bulb would not be with us today. Every time an experiment failed, he said he was one step closer to success.
e. Don’t take risk for others or come to their rescue if things don’t turn out as they would have liked…. coming in over the top deprives them from learning and growing from the experience.
f. Encourage smart risks, not foolish chances …. Be sure to read our next month’s newsletter to see the appropriate way to delegate and encourage risk taking without fear of a calamity occurring.
