Question

A staff meeting is called to discuss various risky projects that have high potential payoffs. After evaluating the alternatives, one option looks especially promising to you. Although the project appears to be risky, you believe the likely gains are worth the risk. Would your willingness to support the risky project be influenced by the amount of personal involvement you anticipated? Would you consider the situation differently if your boss asked you to accept personal responsibility for the risky assignment by becoming the project manager? What if you were just asked your opinion, and the actual project would be handled by someone else?
