I was reading this interesting article on How to measure Initiative ? Found some great wisdom against which one can measure self on Initiative scale. 1. Wait- People don鈥檛 initiate anything from self but keep waiting for Instructions. 2. Ask- Instead of Indefinitely waiting, you Ask your superior to involve you in something of meaning to you. 3. Recommend- This stage is more of not only "just" asking but also Recommending what interests you and the direction in which you would like to proceed. 4. Act Independently but Report Immediately- Think of an Action, Get convinced that it is right for business and take it immediately and report it back to Superior. This is mostly for areas you are delving into for the first time and building trust with your superior. 5. Act Independently and Report routinely- This is a stage when you are completely Independent and has been initiating lot of stuff from your side.
The story doesn鈥檛 tell whether Michelangelo had any boss but we certainly do have one. That鈥檚 why the above framework helps you know where you stand on an Initiative scale. As Seth Godin says in his book Poke the Box , The challenge, it turns out, isn鈥檛 in perfecting your ability to know when to start and when to stand by. The challenge is getting into the habit of starting. Start early, Start without someone prompting you- And become Michelangelo of your craft! When Michelangelo says those magical words- "There's an angel inside that rock ? I am just setting him free.", what is he actually doing to that rock. In some sense, he is acting as a Mentor to that Rock, chiselling it, correcting it and giving it a World class shape. Without googling for it, if i have to define a Mentor, he or she is someone who shapes your mind towards success in any undertaking. Mentor helps correct your flaws not even when going is rough but even stands to influence you even during normal conversations. I always feel having a good mentor more important than being in the Influence of good books.
