"Well, one of the nicknames my supervisors have for me is eavesdropper. This is because I am always actively listening and have an ear bent to what they are discussing amongst themselves, especially when they are talking shop. This has often gifted me with the insight to anticipate their needs and make the types of decisions they would make in complicated situations. Granted, I always, always, respect the chain of command, but sometimes you just have to act, and in those situations, you don't always have all the information you need to make a fully informed decision, nor a supervisor close by to make those decisions for you. So, using an educated guess, with a familiarity of how they would move forward, I have on occasion made decisions to protect the interests of our teams. Every risk I take is highly calculated. Or, as I like to say, I rarely take a bet I am not positive I can win. So my approach is staying informed, in every way that I can."
