The demands of today’s ever-changing work environment oftentimes requires that employees engage in intellectual risk taking by being resourceful, trying new things, and asking questions even at the risk of making a mistake. Our research suggests that management educators can better prepare students for their future professions by conducting classes in ways that mirrors the modern work environment; specifically by incorporating autonomy and higher performance expectations. During this roundtable we will discuss strategies for incorporating autonomy and high expectations into a management education course, and share ideas about how to help students feel more comfortable with ambiguity and intellectual risk-taking.
