Remarks

By emphasizing the inclination to act rather than the quality of the activity, Initiating activity can be distinguished from the majority of other abilities.

The Initiating Action competency is demonstrated by the person's ability to act independently and above and beyond.

Remarks

Because innovation requires coming up with several original solutions to a problem, which is similar to decision making's process of generating possibilities, the two processes are related. An individual with a high degree of creativity produces more original or distinctive possibilities than someone with a low level of innovation. The ability If coming up with creative solutions is a key component of the task or role, innovation and decision-making can be employed together.

Remarks

Meeting Participation and Meeting Leadership should not be used in tandem. For positions/roles where the incumbent is in charge of running meetings, use Meeting Leadership; for roles where simply participation is anticipated, use Meeting Participation. Although it's the most typical source, the person with the highest rank at a meeting doesn't always have to be the one to show leadership. Shared leadership, in which several individuals conduct different aspects of a meeting, is growing in popularity. Meeting leadership is an advanced talent for individuals in self-directed, empowered work groups. A team starts to share leadership after some time, and everyone on the team needs to be proficient in this skill. Gaining Commitment is a different talent from Meeting, even though it can be a valuable skill displayed in meetings.
