Re: Student Initiative

To encourage students to take initiative, you have to make an environment where it is safe for them to experiment without being subject to criticism. If the team culture is that no one does anything until a leader tells them to do it, there will be little initiative. Even worse, if someone does step out and then is blasted for doing something the wrong way, any initiative dies quickly.

You can't teach initiative to team members until leaders exhibit acceptance of ideas.
