## Resource

Risk culture, risk management, and risk ownership become visible through how decisions are taken in practice. In this RiskMasters — The Download segment, Leroy Roberts explores decision drag as an early signal of weakening control, showing how slowing decisions and unclear risk ownership affect risk management outcomes and leadership effectiveness . For chief risk officers, board directors, and risk leaders , this provides a practical way to observe risk culture and control in real time. The discussion focuses on how decision-making behaviour reflects the strength of governance and highlights why delays, escalation patterns, and ownership clarity are critical indicators of operational risk . Listeners will gain insight into: • How risk culture shapes risk decision-making and control • Why decision drag signals changes in risk ownership and accountability • How leadership behaviour influences escalation and decision clarity • How chief risk officers and boards can observe risk management effectiveness through decision patterns This segment is extracted from the full RiskMasters interview with Leroy Roberts on risk culture, leadership, risk management, and operational risk , available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and at aevitium.com .
