To break it down:
Risk taking: depends on the risk and the motivation. Risk taking per se is not a good or bad thing.

Created value: We probably disagree on the meaning of this term. I'd say creating value would involve taking raw materials and adding your work and skill to make them more valuable. I'm not saying bussnies men/starters/owners do not do this, just that people seem to imbue their doing it with some magical significance that makes it more important than what, say, a carpenter does.
