| 'Initiative' is more than just a word |

In an office meeting, important team skills were getting discussed and a word called ‘initiative’ was making frequent rounds. Though a lot of new ideas were tabled in the course of brain-storming session in order to infuse new strength in the work team but when time came to volunteer to carry out ideas, employees started looking here and there and at each other’s faces. In our daily lives we see people brimming with ideas but they wait for somebody else to make those ideas a reality. In such situations, the word ‘initiative’ or being ‘proactive’ get confined to remaining just words. Here are a few ideas related to the subject:1. Lack of initiative is an indicator of lack of motivation which in turn is an indicator of complacency within a system, creation of a comfort-zone and resistance to change. It all creates a system of low energy. Low energy can never propel us into growth or progress. The only way out for a manager or a supervisor is not to let his staff get into this grave no-change zone. It is for the leadership to keep infusing energy and challenges into the team and not let the system stagnate.2. Some initiators complain of being side-lined or discouraged by others. This complaint is indeed true but it is that clash of attitude that we must win. If we bow down, we obviously did not have much energy and faith in our motive to begin with for bringing about a change. Getting over the fear of rejection, disruption or criticism can only be achieved by going ahead anyways, despite the fear. With the first few steps towards the cause we believe in, our fears would melt away. In fact, if we look closely there’s little choice we have, either we take charge of things or become puppets in hands of those who have the ability to begin things and take them forward.3. Initiatives are usually a success when we have conviction in our intention. Taking initiative for the sake of taking it would be unproductive. When we intensely feel about something, we should get down to planning our moves, predicting the eventualities and start performing. If it is a group initiative driven by a common vision or mission, we must participate and contribute fully.4. We mus.... More
