Its a pet feedback of many managers "You should take more initiative" and most reportees do agree to that. Normally many won't have a clue of how to actually take "more" initiative. Thought I'll quote one of my favourite authors Seth Godin on this topic:
"Initiative is the privilege of picking yourself.
You are not given initiative, you take it.
Pick yourself.
If you are not getting what you want, it may be because
you are not making good enough art, often enough".
Simple but profound message. What do you think?
