“Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.” Conrad Hilton, Hotel Executive
Qualities leaders possess that enable them to make things happen:
1. They know what they want
2. They push themselves to act
3. They take more risks
4. They make more mistakes - and don’t let it bother them
How to improve YOUR initiative?
1. Change your mindset – “If you lack initiative realize the problem comes from inside yourself, not others. Find the source of your hesitation and address it.”
2. Don’t wait for opportunity to knock – be proactive
3. Take the next step – do something about it!
Above information derived from John C. Maxwell’s “The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader”, Chapter 10.
