Openness to experience is the tendency to be original, have broad interests, be open to a wide range of stimuli, be daring, and take risks. Managers who are high on this trait continuum may be especially likely to take risks and be innovative in their planning and decision making. Managers who are low on openness to experience may be less prone to take risks and more conservative in their planning and decision making.
