It seems that every management or business journal has on the cover the smiling mug of a charismatic leader. This raises the question of whether or not risk managers should be charismatic. In my impression this would go against the stereotype of risk managers. I suspect the Hollywood version of a risk manager is someone who never smiles, has a constant worry furrow creasing their forehead, and talks in grave and measured tones. Not the epitome of charismatic. But what if that were changed? What if the face of risk management was changed from pessimistic to optimistic, from boring to exciting, from dull to charismatic? Wouldn’t that perhaps help to push the risk agenda along?
