- Bo Bennett

About this Quote

This quote by Bo Bennett emphasizes the significance of initiative in management. It suggests that without initiative, leaders are not really leading, however rather are just employees in positions of authority. Effort is the ability to take action without being prompted or advised to do so. Leaders should have the ability to acknowledge opportunities and take initiative to take advantage of them. Without initiative, leaders are unable to make choices and do something about it by themselves, and rather need to count on others to provide direction. Initiative is essential for leaders to be successful and to make a positive impact on their organization. Leaders need to have the ability to believe seriously and take initiative to make choices that will benefit their company. Without effort, leaders are unable to lead effectively and are simply workers in leadership positions.
