While drafting this post, I wrote down and then deleted an example of “avoiding/deflecting questions about risk” because the person I asked such a question is probably already trying to push their organization to take risks more seriously, and probably had their own political considerations for not answering my question, so I don’t want to single them out for criticism, and also don’t want to damage my relationship with this person or make them want to engage less with me or people like me in the future.
Trying to enforce good risk management via social rewards/punishments might be pretty difficult for reasons like these.
