You are so Right..... Risk Adverse Mentality is putting it kindly. They are worried more about getting promoted that getting the job done. They are in fear of something happening on their watch that will taint their upward move.
It is the same in the US but just different factors. It burns my but everyday when we could be making an impact but some supervisor just says no so he does not have to be at risk.
