Listen "Initiative: Balancing Action and Discernment "
Episode Synopsis
Initiative Strategy – Balancing Action and Discernment So how do we balance the strength of initiative with the wisdom of discernment? Here’s a simple strategy you can use:Pause – Take a breath before jumping in. Not every problem needs immediate action.Align – Ask, Does this fit the bigger mission and my role? If yes, proceed. If not, step back or seek clarity.Act Small, Act Fast – When you do act, start with a small step that creates momentum without overcommitting resources.Empower – Look for ways to invite others into the action, so it’s not just on your shoulders.Review – Afterward, ask, Did my initiative help or hinder? That reflection sharpens discernment for next time.”
