  Relationship between Taking Risks and Doing Research     1. Low Risk-Taking / Low Research: Passive Observer Profile: Characterized by inertia and inaction. Unwilling to allocate resources to investigate new opportunities or take bold moves, leading to complete stagnation and exposure to disruption. Development Tips: Set micro-goals: Start small by setting structured deadlines for minor projects to build decision-making momentum. Identify immediate threats: Analyze the cost of doing nothing to highlight why status-quo maintenance is often a hidden high risk. 2. Low Risk-Taking / Medium Research: Cautious Operator Profile: Acts defensively to maintain current operations. Collects enough data to avoid standard pitfalls, but rarely steps outside proven, safe operational boundaries.

  The Razor and the Organisation: Sharpen the Blade, Value the Hand While shaving regularly, I sometimes forget to change the razor. Once, while shaving in the morning, I found myself pressing the razor harder. When I looked in the mirror, I saw it wasn't a clean shave, so I decided to use a new razor the next day. The next day, while shaving, I failed to realise that it was a new razor. I applied extra pressure and ended up bleeding from a cut. I smiled at the sight of blood and told myself that I should have been mindful about the new razor. Reflecting on the cut, I saw a parallel between the razor and people in an organisation. But the old razor is not simply a person who has served for a long time. Tenure or age alone does not make a person dull. A person becomes like a blunt razor when their skills are not refreshed—when there is no upskilling, cross-training, feedback, or room to grow. At some point, they simply keep doing the job and derive no pleasure from it. Some orga...

Such people neither learn nor inspire; it is better to stay away from them. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions Pvt. Ltd
