Leaders must take initiative and make things happen from "summary" of The Power of Your Leadership by John C. Maxwell
Leadership requires action. It's not enough to simply have a title or a position of authority; true leaders take the initiative and make things happen. They don't wait for opportunities to come to them - they create opportunities through their proactive approach to problem-solving and decision-making. When a leader takes initiative, they are demonstrating their willingness to step up and take responsibility for the outcomes of their actions. They don't shy away from challenges or difficult decisions; instead, they face them head-on and take decisive action to move their team or organization forward. Initiative is about more than just being proactive - it's also about being innovative. Leaders who take initiative are constantly looking for new ways to improve processes, solve problems, and achieve goals. They are not content to simply maintain the status quo; instead, they are always striving for excellence and pushing themselves and their team to reach new heights. Taking initiative requires courage and confidence. It means being willing to take risks and make tough decisions, even in the face of uncertainty or opposition. It requires a strong sense of self-belief and a willingness to trust in one's own abilities and judgment.- Leaders who take initiative are able to inspire and motivate those around them to do the same. By demonstrating a proactive and innovative approach to leadership, they set an example for others to follow and create a culture of empowerment and accountability within their team or organization. In this way, they are able to drive real and lasting change, making a positive impact on the people and the world around them.
