Initiative. n. The power or ability to begin or to follow through energetically with a plan or
task; enterprise and determination.
It's such a positive word. But in the workplace, I've only seen it used negatively. Too many "they should take the initiative" or so and so "... lacks initiative". It doesn't happen to me, but I've sympathized with many a victim. It's the boss's lazy way of saying, 'You should do more work'. I hope that in time this word could become productive and supportive again.
