Why does knowing a process is risky so rarely lead to fixing it?

Most CEOs will tell you their people are their greatest asset. I don't think that's quite right. It's not the people—it's the mindset those people bring to work every day.
In this video, I lay out why a positive, curious, engaged workforce functions as a genuine asset on your balance sheet, while a negative, entitled, complacent one is a liability, and why so few organizations do anything intentional to build the mindset side of the equation.
