Initiative 5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, and imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas & chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told may times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.
