About this course
Initiative is related to the word “initiate”, or “start”, which is a good way of remembering what it means, because using your initiative is all about getting things started under your own steam. If you hear words like “self-starter”, “self-motivated” or “proactive”– they are all connected with initiative.
By this Taking the Initiative course, you will learn what initiative is, how to take it on, the advantages of it, and what stops you from taking initiative. We will also look at the five levels of proactivity and the importance of taking that first step.
