What do you think initiative is and how have you applied it to your jobs in the past?

What does initiative mean to you, and how do you demonstrate that? Talk to the hiring manager about your ability to take initiative in the workplace.

"To me, initiative means taking control of a situation or job without being asked. It means exercising your ability to be in the know when it comes to your teams needs. I demonstrate initiative through keeping a pulse on the needs of my team and taking action without being asked."
