That would certainly be the ideal scenario, but the issue is that it doesn't translate well to corporate bureaucracy.

In a sizeable company, your work performance is typically judged based on a small set of quantifiable metrics. How many sales dollars did you generate? How many widgets did you produce this quarter? Did you hit or exceed your set quota for X? and so on. Your work performance is also judged on how well you follow protocol and abide by the company handbook.

Innovation and "hustle" are not quantifiable metrics and get completely lost within the complexity and scope of managing a multi-location cubicle farm. A high level manager who implemented this kind of policy would most likely end up terminating the very kind of people he supposedly wanted to reward and promote.
