We have to coach people. Of course we shouldn't encourage action without thought. From the ideal PDCA cycle, we can't just have "D" or "DCA" without P. Of course, many organizations do nothing but "P," which is bad too. PDCJ = Plan Do Check Justify wouldn't be a good cycle either, eh? That's the cycle I was referring to...

Others have to be included. It depends on what you mean by reward. If I get $20 just for writing stuff down, that's a problem. It can’t stand along as a behavior. Others have to be included.

I know of companies that reward employees for attempts & effort at doing something differently, regardless of whether or not it succeeds. This can be dangerous: people could be motivated to simply try stuff, regardless of cost or likelihood of success. But it does encourage risk-taking. Good insight here, Jamie.
