Perhaps the most important aspect of risk-taking – the factor with the most profound long-term implications in fostering a creative work environment – is the way a manager treats a new idea once it’s implemented. An old adage says that while success has many parents, failure is an orphan. Effective managers don’t abandon employees who suggest ideas that don’t pan out. Nor do they take full credit if the idea proves successful. Instead, they reflect collectively, talking candidly and being supportive towards their team. What worked? What needs to be improved? What factors impacted the idea’s implementation? And, most importantly, how can this problem or project be better tackled in the future?
