Initiative

some thoughts

Success seems to be connected with action

Successful people keep moving

They make mistakes but they don`t quit

• Of all the things a leader should fear

complacency should head the list

• Leaders are responsible for initiating a connection with their followers

But that’s not the only area where leaders must show initiative

They must always look for opportunities

and be ready to take action

• The starting point of all achievement is desire

If you’re going to be an effective leader

you’ve got to know what you want

Thats the only way you’ll recognize opportunity when it comes

  do the things

that you believe ought to be done

And

when you make up my mind to do a thing

Act

• Proactive people always take risks

But one of the reasons good leaders are willing to take risks

is that they recognize there is a price for not initiating too

• The way to succeed is to double your failure rate

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly

If you want to achieve great things as a leader

you must be willing to initiate and put yourself on the line

• Even the right decision is the wrong decision

if it is made too late
