Had this come by my email today and wanted to share everyone. It is very interesting how the evolution of the workplace is evolving based on the speed at which new technology is being created and adopted by others. If only we could adapt and change with it to help grow ourselves in what we do and how we deliver value to others. The idea of Personal Initiative is so important these days. In fact it has been important at all times as one of the key factors that leads people to success in what they do. Working on our mind, body, and spirit will help us all to maximize our opportunities for success.
What do you think about how people are taking personal initiative in todays world?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback. Have a fantastic day! Enjoy.
"It’s hard to say which would be more discouraging: drifting from job to job because you’re always the first to be laid off, or laboring in monotonous obscurity at the same job. The first results from not doing what you are told to do, the second from doing only what you are told to do. You can "get by" for a time following either approach, but you will never get ahead. Personal initiative is more important in today’s enlightened, high-tech workplace than it was during the Industrial Age, when the ability to follow orders was a critical skill. As technology makes many supervisory functions obsolete, every one of us is expected to do more with less, determine what needs to be done, and do it. Don’t wait to be told. Know your company and your job so well that you can anticipate what needs to be done-then do it! Stop explaining and start doing!"~Napoleon Hill
