Initiative
Issued by
Education Design Lab
Initiative in the 21st century includes self-efficacy and the capacity to identify needs and respond proactively. Individuals who exercise initiative show four core sub-competencies: self-awareness, learning from both “failure” and “success” as opportunities to learn and develop. They lead without an official “leader” role or title, motivate others and catalyze necessary action.
