Initiative and Leadership refers to the proactive drive to identify opportunities or problems and take action, combined with the ability to guide, motivate, and organize others toward shared goals. These are core soft skills employers look for in managers and high-performing employees alike. They involve decision-making, accountability, and the confidence to act without being explicitly told.
