For the Partners and really anyone in a leadership position: how do you motivate your people to take initiative? i.e. inferring next steps and taking action without waiting to be explicitly told to

Sometimes people do not feel empowered to take initiative. Examine how you encourage the behavior and be sure you do not squelch attempts by being critical of attempts that miss the mark. It is generally a combination issue not only related to staff’s reluctance or inability to take initiative. I think too many of our very talented staff are relegated to building decks and taking notes and are not encouraged to think and contribute
