A Working Creed for Taking Initiative

A Working Creed for Taking Initiative

March 28, 2001

"I will begin the process of change with myself.
 Start with my own personal growth
I will face the dragon- my work fears.
 Replace fear with passion.
I will integrate independence and interdependence.
 Be myself and collaborate with others.
I will join, not work for, my organizations and customers.
 Build work and work relationships based on equality
      and competence.
I will commit to continuous learning.
 View my career as a lifetime endeavor.
I will create meaningful work.
Work, believing that the world offers what I need and that I can make a contribution - Cliff Hakim (Nelson, 1999, p.32)."
