Back in the day, when I was an engineer, my managers told us not to be afraid of making bold initiatives to move things forward. Only with time did I understand that bold initiatives are only for top managers. If a top manager makes a mistake with a bold decision, peers say that it was a risky move — well done! While if a specialist makes the same mistake, it is perceived as total failure and negligence. #management #risk #officepolitics #employeemotivation
