Seeing the Big Picture

To be able to take initiative in your job, you first need to see how you and your position relate to the larger scheme of things at work. In most jobs, this role is not explicitly explained so you need to investigate how you fit into your organization's overall operation.

Ask your self: why was my job created? Most jobs are created to help with some pressing need of the organization: better or faster service, lower costs, fewer problems, improved opportunities. If you can understand the initial needs for your position, you will be better able to consistently address those needs--and go beyond them.
