Definition of initiative
The world will give you kindness, whether it is money or honor. As long as you have such a quality, it is initiative. What is initiative?
Let me tell you: initiative means that you can finish your work well without being told.
Secondly, if someone tells you once, you can do it. In other words, if you send a letter to Garcia, the person who can deliver the letter will get a high honor, but it may not always be rewarded accordingly.
Third, some people will do it after being told twice. These people won't get honor, and their pay is very small.
What's more, some people can only do things well if they are forced by the situation. They get indifference instead of honor, and the reward is even more insignificant. This kind of person is just muddling along.
This kind of person is the worst. Even if someone chased him and told him what to do, he wouldn't do it well. Such people always lose their jobs and are despised by others.
The so-called initiative refers to the strength of the power that comes from oneself and drives oneself to act in the process of completing an activity. The key for an employee is to take action. The meaning of initiative lies in the effort to go beyond work expectations and original needs without any requirements. These efforts can improve and increase profits, avoid problems or create new opportunities.

Some people are very active in playing basketball and show great vigor, but they are lazy and depressed in their studies. People don't infer that he is also active in learning just because he plays basketball actively.
The purpose of talent evaluation is to understand the initiative related to job content, so as to better match candidates with positions. Therefore, only the initiative related to the job content is the initiative we want to measure.
