Really????

"Boards are showing more appetite for risk and less tolerance for failure."

That interesting sentence appears in the Schumpeter column in a recent The Economist magazine.  I suspect you can read the whole essay about "the latest crop of bossess" here.  Concluding paragraph is here:

"There will never be a shortage of people jostling to be the boss.  But the wheel of fortune is spinning more quickly than ever, and the knives and arrow are flying more thickly."
