Risk tolerance and Management

The intentionality of Public Sector Management when it functions as it should is for the benefit of all citizens. However, in some instances, the actuality of public Sector management delivers unintended results. This is particularly because Risk taking is virtually unthinkable within the public sector. Management in the public sector is not encouraged and is totally risk aversive to any degree of risk-taking. As a result, you will find that entrepreneurship and innovation are lacking within the management cadre. This inevitably translates into riding the tried and tested decision making way, little chance of adopting or implementing either processes, systems, and technology that may move the organization forward at a more rapid pace and with greater efficiency. This kind of management can sometimes have consequences that adversely affect the public and the impact of public good and definitely minimize the impact of strategy and service delivery.

Pros: opportunity to work across multiple functional areas
Cons: lack of growth opportunities and highly sluggish and politicised environment
