Agreed. I'm not sure I see any clearly definable measures here.

> Celebrating people taking initiatives. Are people taking initiatives to make things better celebrated or rewarded over this seen as unnecessary distractions?

What does 'celebrate' mean? Yay... colleague introduced a new initiative for doing XYZ, but it violates the current standards and now requires upgrades of other legacy stuff. It's not providing any measurable or substantive benefit, but... if I don't "celebrate" it, am I part of a 'destructive' culture?

It's the difference between catching the initiative early enough so that it doesn't cause a cascade of problems, while being nice about it... And saying, you idiot, you did something you thought was good and now I'm angry because I have more work... And what you did wasn't even good.

The question is a bad management detector.
