A comment from a reader of a recent column highlighted for me a reality that could undermine President Trump’s plan to restructure government. The reader underscored the deeply entrenched cultural resistance to change in government and noted that employees (specifically in his former agency) are rewarded for not taking risks. It’s not simply that they are uncomfortable with risk, but that they have learned it’s to their advantage to avoid taking risks it’s a sure way to improve your career prospects.
