⟩ What is initiative roles in problem solving?
Use initiative to act on opportunities. Become a leader before other people view you as one. Healthy organisations reward those who take the lead, not just those with formal management roles:
☛ Take responsibility for own objectives, set priorities.
☛ Display a can do attitude even in demanding situations. Try to solve problems, rather than to pass them on to other people.
☛ Go the extra mile when asked to do tasks. Go beyond your job description. Do work that gets you noticed.
☛ Show enthusiasm: this will be noticed and you will eventually be rewarded.
☛ Take ownership of problems: anticipate potential problems, take emotive action and act quickly to resolve problems.
☛ Introduce improvements to the way things are done.
☛ Develop innovative practices. Value innovative thinking.
☛ Learn new skills that will enhance capability.
