VERYBODY'S IUSINESS by Are you a self-starter? Many employers have told me that the workers who earn promotions are those who show initiative. Like- wise, among those who are "their own bosses", the self- starting type achieves great- est success. Take Fred, for instance. When he finishes a job, he doesn't wait for someone to tell him what to do next. He goes and asks for another as- signment. Or, if he already knows his routine, he plunges right in on the next job. Bert shows his initiative by developing improved work- ing methods, short cuts and new ideas for increasing busi- ness. Both are going places. And both set excellent examples for the pian who wants to get ahead. But of course there is no limit to the number of ways in which we can demonstrate initiative. Almost everything we do, even in small details, challenges our resourceful- ness. Look for the challenges in your job — do your best to meet them - and you'll fol- low in the footsteps of the men who've made their mark.
