I just had to laugh at the second clip in this. Wally should be up for a very large bonus based on his analysis…
What is sad, is that many companies reward programs actually would reward this type of behavior. Not failing is actually seen as a positive and rewarded. This leads to all sorts of behavior that minimize risk and limit exploration. Think about what this means for a company long term? Think the type of culture it breads? Do you think people really want to work in a company that rewards the Wally’s of this world?
